Paradise Cheesecake

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Make the Crust

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form an even layer.
3. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, then remove and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
2. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully combined.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating gently after each addition to avoid overmixing (this prevents cracks in the cheesecake).

4. Bake the Cheesecake

1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
2. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet (to catch any leaks) and bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
3. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.

5. Chill the Cheesecake

1. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
2. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set fully.

6. Add the Topping

1. Once the cheesecake is chilled, arrange the sliced strawberries, diced pineapple, and shredded coconut on top in a decorative pattern.
2. Optional: Drizzle with honey or whipped cream for added sweetness and presentation.

7. Serve and Enjoy

1. Slice the cheesecake into wedges and serve chilled.
2. Enjoy every bite of this creamy, tropical, and indulgent Paradise Cheesecake!
3. Perfect as a standalone dessert or paired with a cold glass of milk or coffee for a cozy treat.

Tips for Success

• • Use Room-Temperature Ingredients: Softened cream cheese and eggs mix more smoothly, ensuring a creamy texture.
  • Prevent Cracks: Avoid overmixing the batter and let the cheesecake cool gradually to minimize cracks.

• Switch Fruits: Use mango, kiwi, or blueberries for variety.
• Store Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep covered to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
