How to make
- Step 1
Stir together ¼ cup (60 mL) shredded coconut, the walnuts, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and the co-conut oil in small bowl. Press into bottoms of six ½-cup (125 mL) glass jars or ramekins, or small serving glasses, dividing evenly.
- Step 2
Beat cream cheese-style spread with coconut yogurt in large bowl using electric hand mixer on low speed until smooth. Increase speed to medium; beat until creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in icing sugar and lemon juice.
- Step 3
Spoon cheesecake mixture into jars over top of shredded coconut mixture, dividing evenly. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour, or overnight.
- Step 4
Stir pineapple with remaining 1 tbsp granulated sugar in separate small bowl.
- Step 5
Spoon pineapple mixture over top of cheesecakes and sprinkle with remaining shredded coconut, dividing evenly. Top with fresh mint (if using).
- Tip:
Toasting the shredded coconut and walnuts adds crunch and enhances their flavour. Toast the coconut in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring often, until light golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring or shaking often, until light golden and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
- Try this:
Swap out the pineapple for any tropical fruit, such as mango or passion fruit.
