Chef's Notes
Ensure cream cheese is truly at room temperature to avoid lumps in your cheesecake base
Toast coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant
For best presentation, add delicate fruits like raspberries just before serving to prevent them from breaking apart
Serving Suggestions
Serve this refreshing salad as a light dessert after a summer barbecue, alongside grilled chicken or fish, or as a sweet ending to an Asian-inspired meal. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, or brunch gatherings where you want something special but not too heavy.
