Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple, well drained
- Pineapple slices and whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to compact it. Refrigerate for 15 minutes while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Continue mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture a little at a time, being careful not to deflate it.
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Before serving, optionally garnish with pineapple slices and whipped cream for decoration. Slice and enjoy!
