This is my mum’s delicious recipe for baked coconut cheesecake – packed full of tropical, aromatic flavour with a little Malibu to brighten up those gloomy days!
This recipe is made with a gluten free base (the topping is naturally gluten free) which can be substituted for an ordinary biscuit base if desired.
