Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Crust

Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. You can do this using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin.

Add the melted **unsalted butter** to the crushed biscuits and stir until well combined. It should have a sandy texture that packs together easily.

Transfer the biscuit mixture into an 18 cm (7 inch) round cake pan. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan to create a sturdy crust. Use a glass to pack it tightly.

Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the cheese mixture.

Step 2

Prepare the Cheese Mixture

Make sure all the cheese mixture ingredients are at **room temperature** before you start. This helps in achieving a smooth texture.

Soak the **gelatin** in **water** and let it bloom for about 5 minutes while you mix the other ingredients.

In a bowl, combine the **cream cheese**, **heavy cream**, **sweetened condensed milk**, and **vanilla extract**. Mix well until the mixture is homogeneous and creamy.

Gently fold in the **shredded coconut**, ensuring even distribution.

Carefully melt the bloomed gelatin and incorporate it into the cheese mixture. Stir until fully integrated.

Before pouring your cheese mixture onto the crust, taste it. If it needs additional sweetness, add **powdered sugar** or more sweetened condensed milk according to your preference.

Step 3

Assemble and Chill the Cheesecake

Pour the cheese mixture over the chilled biscuit crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Cover the cake pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set properly.

Step 4

Serve the Cheesecake

To release the cheesecake from the ring, gently heat it with a hairdryer around the edges. The **butter** will melt slightly, making it easier to remove the ring.

Decorate the cheesecake with **rosemary sprigs** and festive toppings like holiday sprinkles for a beautiful presentation.

Your no-bake coconut cheesecake is now ready to be served! Enjoy this delightful treat during the holiday celebrations.

Servings

🌟 Once your **Coconut Cheesecake** is set and ready to go, it's time to serve it with flair! Here are some delightful suggestions to make it even more special:

✨ **Garnish with Fresh Herbs**: Fresh rosemary sprigs on top not only look gorgeous but also add an aromatic touch that will make your dessert pop!

🍹 **Accompany with Fruit**: Serve slices of cheesecake with a side of tropical fruit like mango or pineapple for a refreshing contrast.

🍦 **Pair with Ice Cream**: A scoop of coconut or vanilla ice cream alongside brings a creamy delight and contrasts beautifully with the cheesecake's texture.

🍽️ **Host a Dessert Buffet**: Cut the cheesecake into small squares and mix them in with other festive treats for a delightful dessert table that will dazzle your guests!

Equipment

Springform Pan (18cm)

A springform pan is essential for this cheesecake. It allows for easy removal of the dessert once it's set. Remember to lightly grease it with butter or line it with parchment paper for the best results!

Mixing Bowl

Use a large mixing bowl for blending the ingredients smoothly. A whisk works great for beating the cream cheese and cream to achieve a light and fluffy texture!

Faq

  • Can I use a different type of cheese for this recipe?

    Yes! While cream cheese gives the best texture, you can use mascarpone or a dairy-free cheese alternative if you prefer. Just make sure it has a similar consistency!

  • How long should I refrigerate the cheesecake?

    Let the cheesecake chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This ensures that it sets properly and is easy to slice.

  • What can I do if my cheesecake does not set well?

    If your cheesecake isn’t setting, it might be due to not enough gelatin or agar-agar. Ensure that you follow the measurements closely, and consider adding a bit more the next time.

  • Can I freeze the cheesecake for later?

    Absolutely! This cheesecake freezes well. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil to protect it from freezer burn. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

  • How can I make the cheesecake more flavorful?

    Incorporate extra flavor by adding lime or lemon zest into the filling or trying flavored extracts such as coconut or almond to give a unique twist!

  • Is it possible to make mini cheesecakes instead?

    Yes! You can use a muffin tin or mini springform pans to create individual servings. Reduce the chilling time slightly as they may set faster!
