This creamy pineapple cheesecake combines a buttery graham cracker crust with a luscious pineapple-infused cream cheese filling for a refreshing dessert perfect for any occasion.
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter; press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar gradually and continue beating until well combined.
Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until just combined. Stir in pineapple juice and vanilla extract.
Pour filling over crust in springform pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until center is almost set. Let cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.
Slice and serve chilled. Optionally garnish with pineapple slices or whipped cream.
Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh pineapple juice and allow the cheesecake to chill overnight.
