A tropical fusion dessert combining the tangy zest of key lime pie, creamy cheesecake, and piña colada flavors with pineapple, coconut, and rum notes for a refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for pineapple topping)
  • 1 cup shredded coconut, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract
  • Zest of 2 key limes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter; press into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
  2. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in coconut milk, key lime juice, rum extract, and lime zest. Pour over crust.
  3. Bake for 55-65 minutes until center is almost set. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  4. In a saucepan, combine drained pineapple, 1/4 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons pineapple juice. Heat until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool and spread over chilled cheesecake. Top with toasted coconut.

Notes

Use fresh key limes for authentic flavor; bottled juice works in a pinch. For alcohol-free version, omit rum extract. Garnish with lime slices and maraschino cherries for extra tropical appeal.
