This coconut flavored cloud cheesecake is so light and airy, with a cloud-like texture. It needs just 4 ingredients and doesn't require any cooking or baking.
1(13.5 fl oz/400ml) cancoconut cream, chilled in fridge for several hours or overnight
1/2cup (100g)granulated white sugar, divided
1(8oz/226g) blockfull fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1(9-inch)premade graham cracker pie crust
Instructions
Scoop out only the solid white part of your chilled coconut cream and place into a large mixing bowl. Add in 3 tbsp of sugar. Using the wire whisk attachment, beat at highest speed until your cream is light and fluffy with medium peaks. If your cream is a little grainy, you may need to add a small amount of the leftover liquid from the coconut cream can, until you have a light and fluffy cream. Transfer the whipped cream from the mixing bowl to another bowl and set aside.
Add cream cheese and remaining sugar to the mixing bowl. Switching to the paddle attachment, beat on high speed until cream cheese is light and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to help your mixer. This should take about 1 minute.
Add the whipped coconut cream back into the mixing bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Switch back to your wire whisk attachment and mix on high speed until you have a fluffy, uniform mixture. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Transfer the cheesecake filling to the pie crust. Use an offset spatula to smooth and even the surface.
Place cheesecake into the fridge for a few hours to chill and set. Optional step: 30-60 minutes before serving, put the cheesecake into the freezer. Freezing the cheesecake makes it easier to cut through the crust without the crust breaking too much. If the cheesecake is too firm after putting it in the freezer, let it soften at room temperature a little before cutting, but you do want it still frozen when cutting. If cheesecake is frozen, allow it to soften before eating. Store any uneaten cheesecake in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
This cheesecake is meant to taste lighter and less tangy and cheesy than regular cheesecake. You can adjust sweetness and the amount of cream cheese to suit your personal preference. You can also reduce the amount of coconut cream if you prefer less coconut flavor.
