Crust Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling Ingredients
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened Ensure it's softened for ease of mixing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until it resembles wet sand.
  3. Press about 1 tablespoon of this mixture into each muffin cup to form the crust.
  4. Bake the crusts for 5 minutes, then let them cool.
Making the Filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Add the sugar and mix until creamy.
  3. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, mixing gently.
  4. Stir in the sour cream, coconut cream, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Fold in the shredded coconut.
Assembling and Baking
  1. Spoon the filling over each crust until nearly full.
  2. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.
  3. Allow to cool completely in the pan and then chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
  4. Before serving, sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top.
