*Recipe for those that like to be bold and try something a little more challenging.
It is worth any struggle.

1 cup flaked coconut
1/4 cup melted butter
1 can crushed pineapple in its own juice
1/4 cup light rum
1 envelope unflavoured gelatin
3 egg yolks
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup coconut milk*
1 lb cream cheese
3 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar...
Directions:
First mix together cookie crumbs, coconut and melted butter. Remember to reserve 1/2 cup for topping. Press remainder into bottom of 9" springform pan. Then drain pineapple, reserving 1/2 cup of juice.
In small saucepan, combine pineapple juice and rum; sprinkle gelatin into liquid; stir over low heat until dissolved. Remove from heat.
In small heavy saucepan, whisk together egg yolks 3/4 cup sugar salt and milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until slighly thickened do not boil. Add gelatin mixture.
Beat cream cheese until smooth, and beat in gelatin mixture; stir in drained pineapple; chill until very slightly thickened, stirring once or twice.

Chill until set at least 4 hours.
And once all that work is done enjoy!
P.S This recipe is great for get togethers but not recommended for chidren. It is also a recipe that is not the simplest but it produces great results. My friend Brianne gave it to me and I am inspired to make it. Anyone want to take the challenge?
