I added some fresh pineapple and coconut to the top of the cheesecake before baking it. It made it look and taste even better!

I didn't have any coconut milk on hand, so I used regular milk instead. The cheesecake still turned out great!

This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter and fluffier cheesecake.

I had some trouble getting the crust to set properly. I think I might have overmixed it. Other than that, the cheesecake was delicious.

This cheesecake was a little too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
