How to Make No Bake Pineapple Cheesecake

Make the crust. Grease a 8-inch springform pan. Next, add the crackers to a food processor, and pulse a few times to make the crumbs. You can also just put the crackers in a ziplock bag, then hit the bag with a rolling pin, until they form fine crumbs. Then, just mix the crumbs with the sugar and the melted butter, and press firmly into the bottom of the springform pan. Refrigerate for a good 45 minutes to allow the crust to set.

Make the filling. Using a hand mixer, cream the cheese, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.  Then on a separate bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form, then add to the cheese mixture bowl, and whip until combined, light, airy and fluffy!

Let it set. Then get the fluffy mixture and pour it over the crust. Smooth it out with a spatula, cover with plastic wrap and put it in the freezer for about an hour to set.

Make the topping. Peel, core and slice the pineapple. I use one of these super cool pineapple slicer things that I love. They’re easy to use, and get me slices that are roughly the same size in a breeze. Next, combine the sugar, the rum (or the water) in a skillet with the pineapple, and let it cook until syrupy. Let it cool completely before you put it on your cheesecake.

Add the topping. Reserve all the syrup in a small bowl or mason jar. Next, arrange all that cooled pineapple goodness on top of the set filling and refrigerate overnight, before you remove the springform.

Finally, to remove the springform, gently run a knife on the inside to release the cheesecake from the sides of the pan.
