Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
  • 1 cup diced fresh pineapple
  • For the Topping:
  • 1 1/2 cups pineapple chunks
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • 2 tbsp crushed caramelized nuts or brittle (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for garnish
  • Pineapple crown for decoration (optional but stunning)

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: In a bowl, mix crushed biscuits with melted butter and brown sugar. Press firmly into the base of a springform pan or ring mold. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream, then stir in diced pineapple.
  3. Assemble: Spoon the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
  4. Top & Decorate: Once the cheesecake is firm, top with pineapple chunks. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with crushed caramelized nuts or brittle if using. Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
  5. Optional Presentation: Place a trimmed pineapple crown upright in the center for a dramatic tropical look.
  6. Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing and indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Use canned pineapple if fresh is unavailable, but drain thoroughly to avoid excess moisture.
  • For a stronger pineapple flavor, add a teaspoon of pineapple extract to the filling.
  • To make clean slices, run a knife under warm water before cutting.
  • Cheesecake can be made 1–2 days ahead and stored covered in the fridge.
