Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1/2 cup melted butter
– 24 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 3 eggs
– 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes
– 1/4 cup chopped pecans
– Pineapple chunks for topping
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Add 1 cup of sugar and the vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter. Gently fold in the drained, crushed pineapple.
5. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and heavy cream. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled cheesecake.
8. Garnish the top with toasted coconut flakes, chopped pecans, and pineapple chunks.
9. Slice and enjoy your delicious Pineapple Cream Cheesecake!
