“Paradise Cheesecake” sounds like a delicious, tropical-inspired dessert! While there are many variations, it could feature a combination of tropical fruits like mango, coconut, or passion fruit, paired with a rich, creamy cheesecake filling. Here’s a basic idea of what a Paradise Cheesecake might look like:
Paradise Cheesecake Recipe
Crust:
- 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 2 tbsp sugar
Cheesecake Filling:
- 2 pounds cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup coconut milk (for a tropical twist)
Topping:
- 1 cup fresh mango or passion fruit pulp
- ½ cup toasted coconut flakes
- Optional: pineapple chunks, kiwi slices, or other tropical fruits
Instructions:
- Prepare the crust:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the base of a springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for about 10 minutes, then set aside to cool. - Make the cheesecake filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract and continue to beat until fully incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, mix in the sour cream and coconut milk. - Bake the cheesecake:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is just set (it should jiggle slightly). Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool completely inside. - Prepare the topping:
Once the cheesecake has cooled, spread the mango or passion fruit pulp over the top. Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes and any other desired tropical fruits. - Chill and serve:
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Enjoy this slice of tropical paradise!
