Preparing Pineapple Cheesecake Delight
Getting started with this scrumptious dessert is simple and satisfying. You’ll begin by preparing a buttery graham cracker crust that serves as a delicious foundation for the creamy cheesecake filling. The combination of soft cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and luscious pineapple produces a filling that’s rich yet refreshingly tropical. Once assembled, the baking process is straightforward, with minimal monitoring needed—what’s not to love? After allowing it to cool and chill, you’ll have a show-stopping cheesecake ready to be savored.
What you’ll need
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Feel free to swap out the graham cracker crumbs for digestive biscuits or even a nut crust if you’re looking for a grain-free option. The crushed pineapple can also be adjusted with fresh pineapple for a bolder flavor.
