Hawaiian Coconut Pineapple Cheesecake Bars

This recipe was a big hit at a recent church breakfast. Delicious as is, I am still wanting to substitute one half of the pineapple with an equivalent amount of chopped fresh mango. Maybe a fellow Cookpadder will give it a try and let me know how it turns out.

Ingredient

Food ration :

40 single squares (It's very rich!)

Cooking time :

1 hour 30 minutes

2 cups

flour

1/4 cup

granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon

salt

1 cup

unsalted butter at room temperature

16 ounces

cream cheese at room temperature

eggs

2 teaspoons

vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon

coconut extract

16 ounces

crushed pineapple well drained

2 cups

shredded sweetened coconut

2 tablespoons

butter, melted

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 °F.

* Step 2

Line a 9x13 with tinfoil allowing excess tinfoil to drape over pan lengthwise. Spray lightly with baking spray. This will allow you to remove the bars after baking for easier cutting.

* Step 3

Combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt and butter until well combined and crumbly. (I used a small food processor and did it in two batches). Press the mixture into a 9 X 13 pan. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until starting to turn golden. Remove and let cool slightly while prepping the other layers.

* Step 4

Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add in the granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla and coconut extracts. Stir in the drained pineapple. Spread over the baked crust.
