Instructions
Step-by-Step Directions to Make Creamy Strawberry Cheesecake Bites with Crunchy Strawberry Topping
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly, making sure to remove as much liquid as possible. Set it aside while you prepare the rest of the dessert.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Base

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Step 3: Whip the Heavy Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will add a light and airy texture to the dessert.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well blended. Then, fold in the drained crushed pineapple and shredded sweetened coconut.

Step 5: Chill the Mixture

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual cups. Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Before serving, garnish with toasted coconut flakes and fresh pineapple slices if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, sweet flavors of cheesecake with a burst of fresh strawberries!

Cooking Notes and Tips
Draining Pineapple: Be sure to thoroughly drain the crushed pineapple to prevent excess moisture from making the dessert runny.
Toasted Coconut Flakes: Toasted coconut flakes add a delightful crunch and enhance the coconut flavor. To toast, simply spread coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the creamy mixture.
