Ingredients:
For the Crust:
200g digestive biscuits, crushed 
100g unsalted butter, melted 
For the Filling:
500g cream cheese, softened 
1 cup sweetened condensed coconut milk 
1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained 
2 teaspoons vanilla extract 
1/4 cup powdered sugar 
For the Topping:
1 cup whipped cream 
Fresh pineapple slices or chunks
Toasted coconut flakes (optional)
Method:
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Combine the crushed digestive biscuits and melted butter in a bowl until well mixed. Press the mixture into the base of a 12-cup muffin tin lined with paper liners. Use the back of a spoon to compact the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
Make the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sweetened condensed coconut milk, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the drained crushed pineapple, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and combined.
Assemble the Cheesecakes:
Spoon the filling over the cooled crusts in the muffin tin, filling each cup to the top. Smooth the tops with a spoon or spatula.
Chill:
Refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 4 hours or until set. For best results, chill overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the Toppings:
Once set, top each mini cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream, a fresh pineapple slice or chunk, and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes if desired.
