It depends on the texture you want. If you don’t mind a bit of that coconut sponginess then don’t pre-bake. How thick you make the crust will matter too. You might want to make a small tester first.

Well, it would be sweeter which you may prefer. I would take care with baking times as the additional sugar that in the flakes themselves may cause browsing to occur more quickly. If you do it please let me know how it went.

What would happen if one used sweeten coconut flakes rather then unsweetened? And, of course, thank you.

Absolutely! It’s wonderful. If you lightly cook it the coconut flavor predominates, but if you allow it to get more golden the nutty flavors inherent in the coconut come forward.

I usually use a pecan crust, but someone is coming this year with a nut allergy, but also a pre-diabetic. The cheesecake will be sweetened with monkfruit.

Will this work since cheesecake stays in the oven longer.

Here semi-sweet chocolate, marshmallows and almonds are contained within a graham cracker crust. If you want to remain truer to the Australian recipe, replace the graham cracker with a coconut crust.

I’m in the same boat so I’m happy I can help him still enjoy. It’s really a lovely, easy way to make a crust.
