  3. Gradually pour in the sweetened condensed coconut milk, mixing until combined.
  4. Add the eggs one by one, beating on low until well incorporated.
Baking
  1. Divide the cheesecake filling evenly amongst the muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
  2. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the centers are set.
  3. Let them cool completely in the pan then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serving
  1. Top each cheesecake with fresh pineapple chunks, drizzle with caramel sauce, and sprinkle with toasted coconut and crushed graham cracker crumbs. Serve chilled.

Notes

For a perfect crust, ensure graham cracker crumbs are finely crushed and pressed firmly. Experiment with flavors by adding lime zest or using different fruits.
