Coconut is typically seen as a very tropical, summer-like flavor which is why it often makes its way into a lot of summer dishes. Its tropical origins also makes it perfect to pair up with some other tropical fruit – including pineapple.
Pineapple and coconut are most often seen together in pina coladas, which makes them the perfect combination to use for a summer cheesecake! It’s a combination that perfectly captures the vibe and essence of summer, plus both flavors are super refreshing and vibrant.
So if you like pina coladas, then try out this recipe for a pineapple and coconut cheesecake!
Another great tropical flavor to match with coconut is mango, as both have tropical origins and both are super popular summer flavors.
Mango is bright and refreshing, although not as sharp as pineapple. It’s super sweet and goes perfectly alongside the natural sweetness of coconut, which helps tie the two flavors together perfectly.
This recipe adds both in great amounts to the classic cheesecake so you can have a vibrant, refreshing dessert to enjoy this summer. Check it out!
On the other side of the scale are rich, indulgent cheesecakes which pack as many delicious flavors into a single dessert as possible. If you want to achieve this vibe with your coconut cheesecake, then adding a ton of white chocolate to the mix is a great way to do so.
White chocolate is still a lot more delicate than traditional milk chocolate as it is more floral and lighter in taste, which also helps it pair up well with sweet coconut.
Ah, Samoas – one of the most popular Girl Scout cookies in all of the US. They’re beloved for their amazing blend of caramel, chocolate, and coconut flavors plus they have a rough crispy texture that helps make them the perfect cookie.
If you’re a huge fan of Samoas (or Caramel DeLite cookies as they are now called), then why not try this recipe for a Samoa cheesecake? The top layer is just like a classic Samoa cookie, resting on a traditional cream cheese filling and a base made from Oreo cookies.
It’s great and super luxurious with flavors including rich caramel and milk chocolate.
Speaking of rich caramel, coconut also pairs super well with salted caramel to help make a sweet and sophisticated dessert.
This recipe is another one to try out if you are looking for an elegant dessert to serve up at your dinner parties, plus it’s a little different compared to the other recipes on our list.
A lot of coconut cheesecakes rely on using coconut flakes to get the flavor through while this recipe uses coconut milk in the cheesecake filling. This allows the texture to remain super smooth – which is perfect when paired with salted caramel!
So, if you don’t like the texture of coconut flakes, this recipe is definitely one for you!
Another great tropical flavor to pair with coconut is lime. Lime is very zesty and sharp, making it perfectly refreshing for summer desserts, and it complements the natural sweetness of coconut well.
Together, the two can make a delicious dessert that is far more muted in sweetness but still delightful all-round.
Our final recipe is this one for a rich, indulgent coconut and raspberry cheesecake! The two flavors come together well with coconut bringing its usual tropical sweetness and raspberry bringing its tart and sweet contrasting notes.
