Pina Colada Cheesecake
Yields: 1 nine inch cheesecake
Ingredients:
- 2 envelopes unflavoured gelatin
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 can pineapple juice (6 oz)
- 3 eggs, separated
- 3 large packages (8 oz) cream cheese
- 1/4 cup dark Jamaican rum
- 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
- 2 cans (8 oz) crushed pineapple in syrup
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
- 1 cup flaked sweetened coconut
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
Crust: combine wafer crumbs, sweetened coconut and melted butter. Mix well. Press mixture evenly over bottom
and sides of an 8 or 9 inch pan. Chill.
Filling: mix gelatin and 1/2 cup sugar in saucepan. Add pineapple juice.
Let stand until gelatin has softened. Place over low heat; stir until

Gradually beat hot gelatin mixtures into egg yolks. Let cool.
In medium bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add to gelatin mixture;

In large bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. While beating, add remaining

Fold egg whites into thickened gelatin mixture. Turn into prepared crust.
Refrigerate for 6 hours or as long as overnight.
