Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can(s) (20 oz) pineapple slices
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
- 24 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar for crust
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted, for crust
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a 9-inch round cake pan, spread the melted butter evenly and sprinkle the brown sugar over it. Arrange pineapple slices on top of the sugar in a single layer.
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 0.25 cup sugar, and 0.5 cup melted butter. Press the mixture firmly over the pineapple layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then blend in vanilla extract.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust and pineapple in the pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the center is almost set.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh pineapple when available and refrigerate overnight for a firmer texture.
