Mini Pineapple Condensed Coconut Milk Cheesecakes 🍍🥥

If you’re craving a bite-sized taste of the tropics, these Mini Pineapple Condensed Coconut Milk Cheesecakes are just what you need. With a buttery graham cracker crust, ultra-creamy coconut milk cheesecake filling, and a juicy pineapple-caramel-coconut topping, this dessert brings sunshine to your table—no matter the season.

Why I Love This Recipe

I’m a big fan of mini desserts that pack major flavor without the fuss. These little cheesecakes are make-ahead friendly, easy to portion, and totally stunning on a dessert tray. The sweetened condensed coconut milk gives the filling a luscious texture and tropical vibe, while the pineapple topping keeps it bright and fresh. If you love layered treats like my Ice Cream Sandwich Cake or Pumpkin Delight, you’ll want to make room in your fridge for these.

Swaps & Notes

• Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk: Can sub with regular sweetened condensed milk if needed—but you’ll miss a little of that coconut magic.
• Fruit Topping: Try mango or passionfruit for variation.
• Crust Options: Use crushed vanilla wafers or gingersnaps instead of graham crackers for a different flavor twist.
• Make It Dairy-Free: Use vegan cream cheese and dairy-free butter for a plant-based version.

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.

2. Make the Crust

Mix graham crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press 1 tablespoon into each liner. Bake for 5 minutes and cool.

3. Make the Filling

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla, mixing well. Slowly blend in the sweetened condensed coconut milk. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until incorporated.

4. Fill & Bake

Divide the cheesecake filling evenly among the liners (about 3/4 full). Bake for 18–20 minutes, until centers are set. Let cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

5. Add the Toppings

Top each mini cheesecake with fresh pineapple chunks. Drizzle with caramel sauce, sprinkle with toasted coconut, and finish with crushed graham crackers.

6. Serve & Enjoy

Carefully peel off the liners and serve chilled for maximum creamy, tropical indulgence!

Tips for Success

• Room Temp Ingredients: Ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother filling.
• Chill Time is Crucial: These need at least 2 hours in the fridge to fully set—overnight is even better.
• Use a Cookie Scoop for even crust portions.
• Toast Coconut in a Dry Pan over medium heat for a few minutes to bring out flavor.

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

These cheesecakes are excellent on their own but even better when paired with:

• A glass of tropical Grasshopper Pie on your dessert board
• Caramel Apple Nachos for a fun, sticky-sweet duo
• No-Bake Monster Cookie Energy Balls for contrast in texture and style

They’re also a stunning addition to any dessert buffet or potluck table!

Storage & Leftovers

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Freeze individually (without toppings) for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge and top fresh before serving.
• Make Ahead Tip: You can fully prep and refrigerate these a day in advance. Add toppings just before serving for best texture.
