No-Bake Pineapple Heaven Cheesecake Dessert
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
For the Pineapple Topping:
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Stir in the drained crushed pineapple.
Assemble the Dessert:
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust in the baking dish.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
Prepare the Pineapple Topping:
In a small saucepan, combine crushed pineapple, sugar, cornstarch, and water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Let the pineapple topping cool slightly before spreading it over the cheesecake layer.
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Cut into squares and serve chilled.
Enjoy your No-Bake Pineapple Heaven Cheesecake Dessert—a tropical treat that’s both creamy and refreshing!
