Coconut Sugar Shortbread Cheesecake Crust ✨🤎
Thick, buttery, and just bougie enough to steal the show
Ingredients
- 150g flour
- 62–65g coconut sugar
- 105–110g unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5–2g salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) 🔥
- Mix your dry ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together flour, coconut sugar, and salt. - Add the good stuff 🧈✨
Pour in melted butter and vanilla, mixing until you get a soft, damp sand texture that holds when pressed. - Press + shape
Transfer to a 9-inch springform pan and press firmly into the base, slightly up the sides.
Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup for that smooth, even finish. - Bake to golden perfection ✨
Bake for 12–14 minutes, until lightly golden and set. - Cool slightly
Let it rest for 10–15 minutes before adding your cheesecake filling.
Bougie Baker Tip 💅
While it’s still warm, gently press the crust again to tighten everything up — this gives you those clean, bakery-style slices later.
This crust is giving rich, caramel-y, elevated energy — not just a base, a whole moment 🤎✨
