Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Saucepan
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups melted butter
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sugar divided
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 0.5 cups pineapple juice
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 packet unflavored gelatin
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
  • Beat cream cheese, ¾ cup sugar, and whipping cream until smooth and creamy.
  • In a saucepan, combine pineapple juice, ¼ cup sugar, and cornstarch. Stir until thickened. Add gelatin and stir until dissolved.
  • Combine the pineapple mixture with the cheese mixture and stir until well incorporated. Pour over the baked base and smooth the top.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. Release the sides of the springform pan and serve.

Notes

For a smoother texture, use room temperature cream cheese. Experiment with different fruits to customize the flavor, like mango or kiwi. Can be stored in the refrigerator covered for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months. For an extra tropical touch, add a splash of coconut milk to the pineapple mixture. Garnish with fresh pineapple slices and a sprinkle of coconut flakes for a beautiful presentation.
