Method
  1. 1. Prepare the Base:

    • Crush 180g of gluten-free biscuits into fine crumbs.
    • Mix with 75g of melted butter until well combined.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan (about 23 cm) to form the base and create a slight edge on the sides.
    • Place in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

    2. Make the Filling:

    • In a bowl, whip 380g of cream cheese with 75g of greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
    • Add 75g of unsweetened coconut flakes and mix well.
    • Melt 200g of white chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds to prevent burning.
    • Add the melted white chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and stir until fully combined.
    • Spread the filling evenly over the biscuit base and smooth the top with a spatula.

    3. Prepare the Top Layer:

    • Heat 100g of coconut cream in a small saucepan over low heat until warm.
    • Add 80g of white chocolate to the warm coconut cream and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
    • Pour the top layer mixture over the cheesecake filling, spreading it evenly.

    4. Chill the Cheesecake:

    • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set properly.

    5. Serve:

    • Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
    • Slice and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
    Pro Tips
    • Always check that all ingredients are labeled gluten-free.
    • For the ultimate flavour of coconut, roast the coconut flakes but with out giving them colour.
    • To make the base extra firm, chill it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
    • To prevent any cross-contamination, ensure your tools and surfaces are clean of gluten traces.
