Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • cup butter melted
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 8 ounce blocks cream cheese softened
  • cup sugar
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 20 ounce can pineapple tidbits drained
  • ¾ cup sweetened coconut flakes divided
  • Maraschino cherries for topping optional

Instructions

  • Stir together the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and butter in a medium bowl.
  • Evenly divide the the graham cracker mixture between 6 mason jars and press into the bottom of each one.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream on high for four to five minutes, until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and coconut extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Add one cup of pineapple tidbits and ½ cup sweetened coconut flakes to the pina colada cheesecake mixture. Fold in until well mixed.
  • Divide the mixture and evenly spoon into the jars over the top of the crust. Place all in the refrigerator to chill for at least four hours.
  • When ready to serve, place ¼ cup coconut in a skillet and cook over medium low heat. Stir constantly until the coconut is golden brown, then immediately remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool.
  • When the coconut is cool, remove the cheesecakes from the refrigerator and top with more pineapple tidbits, toasted coconut, and a maraschino cherry before serving.
