Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 cups cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pineapple puree
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 whole pineapple for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create a crust. Allow it to cool in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add in the pineapple puree and mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese and pineapple mixture until well combined.
  4. Add Gelatin: Stir the dissolved gelatin into the cheesecake mixture until there are no lumps and everything is well mixed.
  5. Combine and Chill: Pour this cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh pineapple slices to make it a true showstopper!
