Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp sugar (optional)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed pineapple, drained well
  • 2 tbsp sugar or honey
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water
  • Splash of pineapple juice (from the can)
  • Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
  • Extra pineapple chunks (for garnish)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar (if using) until fully combined. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of each jar and press down to form a crust.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks.
  3. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese until fully incorporated. Stir in the shredded coconut and mix until thick and fluffy.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple, sugar or honey, and a splash of pineapple juice. Stir in the cornstarch mixed with water. Cook over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until thick and glossy. Let cool completely.
  5. Assemble the jars by layering crust, cheesecake filling, and pineapple topping. For larger jars, repeat the layers.
  6. Top with toasted coconut flakes, pineapple chunks, or whipped cream as desired. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free version.
  • Chill jars for at least an hour for best texture.
  • For extra coconut flavor, add 1/2 tsp coconut extract to the filling.
  • Fresh pineapple can be used in place of canned.
  • Top with whipped cream just before serving for best results.
