Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115 grams) butter, melted

Filling Ingredients:

  • 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14 ounces / 397 grams) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (20 ounces / 567 grams) can crushed pineapple, drained

Topping Ingredients:

  • 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl, ensuring a uniform texture.
  2. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan, creating an even, compact base.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until light and airy, using an electric mixer.
  4. Gradually incorporate sweetened condensed milk, beating until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  5. Add lemon juice and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly.
  6. Gently fold in crushed pineapple and whipped topping, maintaining the mixture’s airiness.
  7. Spread the creamy pineapple filling over the prepared graham cracker crust, ensuring an even layer.
  8. Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours to allow the cheesecake to set and flavors to meld.
  9. Serve chilled for a refreshing and decadent dessert experience.

Notes

  • Swap graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or gluten-free cookies for a celiac-friendly version.
  • Drain pineapple chunks thoroughly to prevent excess moisture that could make the cheesecake watery.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer, more decadent texture and deeper flavor profile.
  • Refrigerate overnight for optimal setting and flavor melding, allowing the dessert to develop a more intense taste.
