• 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
• ½ cup light whipped topping (or whipped cream)
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping (optional):

• Additional crushed pineapple or pineapple rings
• Light whipped cream for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Place in the fridge while preparing the filling.

2. Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy. Fold in crushed pineapple and whipped topping until fully combined and airy.

3. Assemble the Cheesecake
Pour the pineapple cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even layer.

4. Chill & Set
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture. The cheesecake should be firm yet creamy when sliced.

5. Garnish & Serve
Top with extra pineapple or a swirl of whipped cream before serving for that finishing touch of tropical flair.

Tips for Success

• Drain Pineapple Well: Too much juice will make the filling runny.
• Chill Thoroughly: Helps the cheesecake set to the perfect creamy texture.
• Use Whipped Topping Gently: Fold, don’t stir, to keep the mixture light and airy.
• Add Coconut: For a tropical twist, mix in a tablespoon of shredded coconut.
