Description
These Piña Colada Cheesecake Bites combine the tropical flavors of coconut and pineapple with the creamy richness of cheesecake, all in a bite-sized, no-bake form that's perfect for summer parties or a sweet treat any time!
Ingredients
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
2 tablespoons sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup coconut milk (or coconut cream for a richer flavor)
1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup shredded coconut (for rolling)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and sugar. Stir everything together until well mixed.
- Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a mini muffin tin or silicone mold to create a crust for each cheesecake bite.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with coconut milk, crushed pineapple, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crusts in each mold, filling them all the way to the top.
- Refrigerate the bites for at least 3 hours or until they’re firm and set.
- Once the bites are firm, roll them in shredded coconut to coat the outside.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the tropical-inspired dessert!
Notes
For a richer flavor, use coconut cream instead of coconut milk.
To make gluten-free, swap the graham cracker crumbs with gluten-free alternatives or ground almonds.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
For variations, you can use toasted coconut flakes for rolling or add rum extract for a more authentic Piña Colada flavor.
Freezing is possible for up to 2 months—just make sure they are in an airtight container.
