The only thing I did differently was I skipped the extra can of crushed pineapple for the topping . This was so good I could have sat there and ATE THE ENTIRE THING MYSELF!!! Not very often do you come across a recipe that is simple, quick to make, and 5 stars but this one checks all the boxes. Everyone that eats it their eyes light up. I will be making this recipe for the rest of my life. Dear god do not let me gain 60 lbs from eating this all the time. Jesus take the wheel.
Very easy and a family fav. I always drain the pineapple thoroughly to ensure the right consistency of the pie.
I followed the recipe exactly except I did not add more crushed pineapple on top. I thought it had plenty of pineapple with the one can of crushed. I squeezed all the liquid out of the pineapple with my hands and did not have a problem at all with it being runny. It set up very nicely. While this is not a true cheesecake, it is a very easy and delicious dessert.
I made this just as written except I only had one can of pineapple so I just saved a little bit from the can to put on top. Even if I had had another can, I do not think I would put it on top. I would either buy a can of pineapple pie filling or make my own with that other can of pineapple, had I have had one?. Otherwise it was a fairly good Cheesecake. I have it in the fridge now, firming up. I’ve made several of these but not with this recipe. I have my own I prefer.? I have learned that they will firm up when you refrigerate them, so I didn’t have to put any extra cream cheese in it like some have stated.?
I added coconut to it. It was so good and creamy. Will definitely make this again!!
A great, easy recipe. A good base to customize how you’d like. Will make it again.
Easy, peazy. Used small tub cool whip with 1/2+ folded in and the test on top. I used only 1 can very well drained pineapple in pie.
Super tasty
No changes. Will definitely make it again.
I make this all the time,family and friends love it.I had to give them all the recipe,now they make it very often.I leave out the top can also,but sometimes drizzle melted semi sweet chocolate over the top.
I’ve made it twice with the help of my grandchildren. They really love it
This recipe is fantastic, quick and tasty. I always made mini’s out of them.
I decided not to use the other can of pineapple because it would of been too much. I would make this again because its easy.
no
Great recipe for summer Barbecues and something light & refreshing,I used Splenda and decorated top with drained Maraschino cherries cut in half..Pineapple must be well drained or it will be runny..Tanks for a nice recipe
I made this according to the recipe and it is very good, so in MY opinion the recipe stands on it’s own as written. However, I was wanting something more so I added some coconut and pecans. I would be happy to eat this cheese pie with or without my additions.
Easy fast light refreshing tasty. What more could you want?
I , too, didn’t use the second can of pineapple on top. It didn’t need it. So yummy , and so easy!! Next time I’ll make a homemade graham crust.
The recipe for pineapple cheesecake was not too clear. A little more detail is required. Thank you
this is a very light kind of pie. it’s very easy to make and very good. I will make this again
This recipe came out really good. I didn’t have graham cracker crust, so I took someone else’s advice and used a shortbread cookie recipe. I changed up the pineapple part just a bit. Instead of using two 15 oz. cans of crushed pineapple, I used only one 20 oz. can. I added the entire can in the cheesecake mixture and it came out amazing! I didn’t use any extra for garnish. The secret to not have a runny cheesecake mix is to drain the pineapple EXTREMELY well. I even went so far as to push clean hands into the pineapple, against the strainer, to squeeze even more juice out of the pineapple. I saved the juice; I will make fruit smoothies out of it 🙂
