Description

A delicious no-bake dessert that combines classic cheesecake with the tropical flavors of a pina colada.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Maraschino cherries (optional)
  • Pineapple slices or chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until fully combined. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Lightly grease the sides of the pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Freeze the crust while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture. Stir in the crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and rum extract. Spread the mixture over the crust.
  3. Chill the Cheesecake: Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until set.
  4. Garnish & Serve: Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake, remove the sides of the pan, and decorate with whipped cream, cherries, and pineapple if desired. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure that the cream cheese is softened before mixing to prevent lumps in the cheesecake filling. You can adjust the rum extract for a stronger flavor. For extra coconut flavor, toast the shredded coconut before adding it to the filling.
