Tips
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened before you start mixing. This will help prevent the cheesecake from being lumpy.
  • Chill the coconut cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help it set completely.
  • Garnish with fresh fruit, toasted coconut, or whipped cream.
  • You can add shredded coconut to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
  • You can also add a layer of coconut cream to the top of the cheesecake.
  • You can also make a tropical cheesecake by adding mango, pineapple, or other tropical fruits to the batter.
  • Use a springform pan. This will make it easier to remove the coconut cheesecake from the pan without damaging it.
  • Use a high-fat cream cheese. This will help the cheesecake set up more firmly.
