Key Lime Pie Cheesecake Pina Colada – a tropical and tangy frozen delight!
Ingredients:
For the Pina Colada Base: 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks 1/2 cup coconut milk 1/4 cup pineapple juice 1/4 cup white rum (optional) 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener of choice 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract For the Key Lime Cheesecake Layer: 4 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk 2 tablespoons key lime juice 1 teaspoon lime zest For the Graham Cracker Crumble: 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs 2 tablespoons melted butter 1 tablespoon sugar For Garnish: Whipped cream Lime zest Lime slices
Instructions:
In a blender, combine frozen pineapple, coconut milk, pineapple juice, rum (if using), honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl and set aside. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest. Mix until well combined. In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar until the texture resembles wet sand. In a tall glass, layer the pina colada mixture, followed by a spoonful of the cheesecake layer, and then a sprinkle of the graham cracker crumble. Repeat the layers until the glass is full. Top with whipped cream, extra graham cracker crumbs, lime zest, and a slice of lime for garnish.
Decoration Tips:
Use a piping bag to swirl the whipped cream on top for a neat finish. Sprinkle extra lime zest for a fresh, vibrant touch. Garnish with a whole graham cracker on the side for an elegant look. Serve with a fun straw or a decorative umbrella for a tropical vibe. Happy Baking
