We love a good cheesecake. And with no cooking whatsoever, this pineapple cheesecake recipe fits the bill for being a no-bake dessert<\/a>, making it a perfect recipe\u00a0for kids, beginners\u00a0and anyone looking to beat the heat. And unlike when you bake a cheesecake<\/a>, you’re less likely to experience cracking.<\/p>\n Like many of our other no-bake cheesecake recipes<\/a>, the filling for this pineapple cheesecake is made from a combination of cream cheese, sugar and frozen whipped topping (aka Cool Whip). Fold in a can of crushed pineapple and arrange some ladyfingers to make a simple crust.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until they’re smooth. Stir in the pineapple, then fold in the whipped topping.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Use a hand mixer<\/a> or a stand mixer<\/a> fitted with a paddle attachment to make the filling for this pineapple cheesecake.<\/p>\n Place the ladyfingers around the sides and on the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Pour the filling into the pan.<\/p>\n Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for eight hours or overnight. Carefully remove the sides of the pan to reveal the pineapple cheesecake. Top the cheesecake with strawberries, then slice and serve!<\/p>\n Due to the dairy content in pineapple cheesecake, this recipe should be kept refrigerated and covered with plastic until ready to serve.<\/p>\n This pineapple cheesecake recipe will stay fresh for up to one week in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n Yes! You can freeze cheesecake<\/a>. If wrapped tightly in plastic and heavy-duty aluminum foil, it will stay fresh for two to three months.<\/p>\n This pineapple cheesecake recipe calls for crushed canned pineapple, which is more convenient. However, you can use fresh pineapple if you prefer. Use the same amount of fresh pineapple as you would canned pineapple. To get the crushed texture, pulse chunks of fresh pineapple in a blender or food processor.<\/p>\n Possibly. It will not be an equal swap, however, so some experimentation may be required to perfect the consistency. While homemade whipped cream<\/a> is often a great swap for frozen whipped topping, in this pineapple cheesecake, the other ingredients in the Cool Whip are key to stabilizing the filling.<\/p>\n Stick with full-fat cream cheese instead of a reduced-fat option, like Neufchatel cheese. The fat in the cream cheese lends a lot of richness to the filling, which usually comes from egg yolks in baked cheesecake recipes. Opting for a reduced-fat option would make the pineapple cheesecake less flavorful and may also cause the filling to be less thick and unstable.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
