Tropical Coconut Cheesecake Recipe

 

Tropical Coconut Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients:

- 1 cup of crushed graham crackers (for the crust)

- 1/4 cup of melted butter (to hold the crust together)

- 2 cups of cream cheese (this makes it creamy!)

- 1 cup of sugar (to make it sweet)

- 1 cup of coconut milk (for that tropical flavor)

- 1 cup of shredded coconut (more coconut goodness!)

- 3 eggs (to help it set)

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (for extra yummy taste)

Instructions:

1. Make the Crust:

   - First, we need to make the crust! In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers and melted butter together. It should look like wet sand.

   - Now, take a round cake pan and press the mixture into the bottom. This will be our yummy base. 

2. Mix the Cheesecake Filling:

   - In another big bowl, put the cream cheese and sugar. Use a mixer or a whisk to mix them until it’s smooth and creamy. 

   - Next, add the coconut milk and mix again. 

   - Now, crack the eggs one by one into the bowl and mix well after each one. 

   - Finally, add the shredded coconut and vanilla extract. Give it a good stir!

3. Combine and Bake:

   - Pour the creamy mixture over the crust in the cake pan. 

   - Preheat your oven to 325°F (that's about 160°C). 

   - Bake the cheesecake for about 50-60 minutes. It should be set but still a little jiggly in the middle.

4. Cool and Serve:

   - Once it’s done, let it cool down for a bit, then put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight if you can wait!). 

   - When it’s nice and cold, slice it up and enjoy your tropical treat!
