Coconut Cheesecake and Pineapple Compote with Mint Pesto

Crush the butter cookies and sugar in a bowl by hand. At the end, stir in the melted butter.

Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until foamy and then mix in all the other ingredients. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them in carefully.

Butter a cake pan. Press the cookie mixture evenly on the bottom and let it chill in the refrigerator, then spread the cream cheese mixture on top and bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. After baking, sprinkle the cheesecake with coconut flakes.

For the mint pesto, finely chop the mint, mix with hazelnuts, maple syrup and grape seed oil, and season with lime juice.

For the pineapple compote, peel the pineapple generously, cut it into eighths lengthwise and remove the stalk. Cut into small pieces. Caramelize the sugar in a saucepan until not too dark, deglaze with orange juice and boil for 2 to 3 minutes.

Mix the cornstarch with a little water and thicken the orange juice with it. Add the pineapple, bring to the boil briefly and remove from the heat. Finally, season to taste with rum.

Serve the coconut cheesecake and the pineapple compote with the mint pesto.
