For Crust: Wrap the outside of a 9 inch springform pan tightly with foil. Combine graham crumbs and melted butter in a food processor. Blend until evenly moistened. Press crust mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
For Filling: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine rum extract and coconut in a food processor. Blend until coconut is finely chopped. Beat together cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in cornstarch then butter. Add vanilla extract and lemon juice. Beat in sour cream. Stir in pineapple and the coconut mixture. Pour filling over the prepared crust. Place springform in a large roasting pan. Add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake 30 minutes. Reduce oven to 325 degrees and bake cheesecake an additional 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove cheesecake from water bath and transfer to a rack. Cool to room temperature. Discard foil. Cover and refrigerate cheesecake overnight.
Run a warm knife around the inside edge of the springform pan. Release pan sides and remove. Slice cheesecake with a warm knife.
Serves 10 to 12.
