Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g cream cheese (room temperature)
- 180 g plain sweet biscuits (Nice, Granita, or Milk Arrowroot)
- 250 ml (1 cup) thickened cream
- 150 g (½ cup) well-drained crushed pineapple
- 90 g pineapple-flavored jelly packet
- 125 ml (½ cup) sweetened condensed coconut milk
- 125 ml (½ cup) boiling water
- 160 ml (⅔ cup) cold water
- 90 g unsalted butter (melted)
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preparation: Lightly coat silicone muffin pans with oil spray and place parchment paper strips in each cavity for effortless removal.
- Crust Formation: Pulverize biscuits and cinnamon in a food processor, blend with melted butter, and press firmly into pan bases using a flat-bottomed glass to create a compact foundation.
- Jelly Preparation: Dissolve jelly crystals completely in boiling water, add cold water, and allow to cool without setting.
- Cream Cheese Mixture: Blend cream cheese and sweetened condensed coconut milk until achieving a silky, smooth consistency. Gently fold in cooled jelly and crushed pineapple, ensuring even ingredient distribution.
- Cream Integration: Whip thickened cream to soft peaks and delicately fold into the pineapple mixture, maintaining its light, airy texture.
- Filling and Chilling: Spoon the creamy mixture over biscuit bases, tapping to eliminate air pockets. Refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours to set completely and develop optimal flavor.
- Serving and Garnishing: Carefully release cheesecakes from pan edges, lift using parchment strips, and pipe firm whipped cream swirls on top for an elegant, professional presentation.
Notes
- Precision Matters: Use a food processor for uniform, fine biscuit crumbs to create a perfect, compact base that holds together seamlessly.
- Jelly Cooling Technique: Allow jelly mixture to cool completely before adding to cream cheese to prevent unwanted setting and maintain smooth consistency.
- Folding Finesse: Incorporate whipped cream gently to preserve its airy texture, using a light, sweeping motion to maintain the delicate volume.
- Chilling Crucial: Minimum 6-hour refrigeration is non-negotiable for achieving ideal set, flavor development, and structural integrity of mini cheesecakes.
