Mini Pineapple Condensed Coconut Milk Cheesecakes 🍍🥥

There’s something undeniably magical about bite-sized desserts—especially when they’re infused with tropical flavors like pineapple and coconut. These mini cheesecakes are creamy, dreamy, and just sweet enough to satisfy without overwhelming. Plus, they’re surprisingly simple to make! Let’s gather our ingredients and dive in.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Graham cracker crumbs (1 cup): The perfect buttery base for our mini cheesecakes. If you’re feeling adventurous, try swapping in crushed digestive biscuits or even ginger snaps for a spiced twist.
• Melted coconut oil (3 tbsp): This binds our crust together while adding a whisper of coconut flavor. If you don’t have coconut oil, melted butter works beautifully too.
• Cream cheese (8 oz, softened): The star of any cheesecake! Make sure it’s at room temperature—this ensures a silky smooth filling without lumps.
• Sweetened condensed coconut milk (½ cup): A luscious dairy-free alternative that keeps these cheesecakes rich and velvety. Regular condensed milk works if you don’t have the coconut version.
• Fresh pineapple (½ cup, finely diced): The juicy, tangy heart of this recipe. Blot the pineapple pieces lightly with a paper towel to avoid excess moisture in your filling.
• Coconut extract (½ tsp): A tiny splash goes a long way in amplifying that tropical vibe. Vanilla extract is a fine substitute if needed.
• Pinch of salt: Don’t skip this! It balances the sweetness and enhances all the flavors.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep your crust: In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted coconut oil until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press a heaping tablespoon into the bottom of each lined muffin tin cup, using the back of a spoon to compact it firmly. Pop the tray in the fridge to set while you work on the filling.
2. Whip the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy—about 2 minutes with a hand mixer. Gradually add the condensed coconut milk, blending until fully incorporated. Fold in the diced pineapple, coconut extract, and salt with a spatula for an even distribution.
3. Fill and chill: Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crusts, filling each cup nearly to the top. Smooth the tops gently, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (though overnight is ideal for the best texture). Pro tip: Cover the tray loosely with plastic wrap to prevent any fridge odors from sneaking in.

And just like that, you’re halfway to paradise in dessert form! The hardest part? Waiting for these little beauties to set. But trust me, the creamy, tropical payoff is worth every minute. Stay tuned for the finishing touches—including a drizzle of caramelized pineapple glaze that takes these mini cheesecakes from delightful to downright irresistible.

These Mini Pineapple Condensed Coconut Milk Cheesecakes are a tropical dream come true—creamy, sweet, and bursting with sunshine in every bite. With a buttery graham cracker crust, a luscious coconut-infused filling, and a tangy pineapple topping, they’re the perfect treat for any occasion.

FAQs

Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?

Absolutely! Fresh pineapple works wonderfully—just make sure to chop it finely and drain any excess juice to prevent the topping from becoming too watery.

Can I make these cheesecakes ahead of time?

Yes! These mini cheesecakes keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just store them in an airtight container and add the pineapple topping right before serving for the best texture.

Is there a dairy-free alternative for the cream cheese?

You can substitute with a plant-based cream cheese for a dairy-free version. Just ensure it’s a firm variety to maintain the right consistency.

Can I freeze these cheesecakes?

While possible, we recommend enjoying them fresh or refrigerated. Freezing may alter the texture of the creamy filling.

What if I don’t have mini cheesecake pans?

No problem! A standard muffin tin lined with cupcake liners works just as well. Adjust the baking time slightly if needed.
