No-Bake Pineapple Cheesecake

A creamy and refreshing no-bake pineapple cheesecake with a buttery graham cracker crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple, diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Start by crushing those graham crackers if they’re not already crushed. You can use a food processor, or if you’re feeling nostalgic, take a rolling pin and crush them in a zip-top bag. The goal is fine crumbs.
  2. Mix the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until it resembles wet sand.
  3. Press into a pan: Grab a 9-inch springform pan and press the mixture evenly into the bottom. Pop this in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
  4. Cream cheese mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  5. Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
  6. Fold it all together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture a little at a time.
  7. Add the pineapple: Fold in your diced fresh pineapple.
  8. Fill the crust: Pour the filling over the chilled graham cracker crust and smooth out the top.
  9. Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and pop it into the refrigerator for a minimum of 240 minutes.
  10. Serve: Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan, slice into pieces, and enjoy!

Notes

For added flavor, sprinkle toasted coconut on top before serving. You can swap pineapple for other fruits.
