ingredients

2 packages (8 ounce size) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 small can crushed pineapple
1 graham cracker pie crust

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Open can of pineapple and let it drain in a strainer till completely dry. If not drained well it will cause cheesecake not to bake properly. If it is still a little moist when ready to use take an old dishtowel or a piece of old sheet (clean) and pour into sheet and twist it dry.

Mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with a mixer on medium speed until well blended then add eggs and mix until blended.

Now you will add the pineapple and stir in until well blended.

Pour this mixture into pie crust and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Refrigerate and enjoy, the next day is best!

    Also, I use only 1/3 c of sugar because the extra pineapple (19 oz can) is sweet enough and I add a bit of graham crumbs to the top before it goes in. We also make it in a square glass dish, don't know what/if that makes a difference.

  2. TarynAnn REVIEW:

    This has actually been a recipe in my family cookbook for decades and we've tweaked it a bit over the years. Personally, I make it with a large can of pineapple, leave a touch of juice and bake at 400 and it turns out fine. It's softer than cheesecake normally is, but it tastes delicious. Cook it longer and it will be firmer.

  3. Love love this cheesecake REVIEW:

    A co-worker of mine made this cheesecake for me and it was the best cheesecake. Made this for another co- worker and the word got out and now the are requesting me to make this cheesecake for every pitch in! It addictive!!!

  4. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Add a topping of 1 cup sour cream, 1/3 cup suger, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, bake for 20 minutes, and this cheesecake is even better!

  5. catmandu REVIEW:

    I'll second the recommendation to dry the heck out of the pineapple. That's the only way this turns out good. And 350 degrees worked for the temp. Super simple cheesecake that was quite good.

  6. The Great Kelskin REVIEW:

    First time I made this I apparently didn't dry the pineapple enough because as the recipe says, it didn't bake right. Made it again and dried the heck out of the pineapple and it turned out great!

  7. Liked it REVIEW:

    For anyone interested in the cooking temperature. The original author didn't provide it, so I cooked it at 350 for the recommended 40 minutes, which worked out just right. I was concerned that the fruit would prevent the cheesecake from setting up firmly, but after sitting in the fridge overnight it's perfect.
