Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup Graham cracker crumbs
• ¹⁄₂ cup Butter
• 2 package Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple
• ¹⁄₂ cup Whipped cream
• optional for garnish Maraschino cherries

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
3. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in crushed pineapple.
4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

6. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake. Remove the sides of the springform pan and allow the cheesecake to cool completely.
7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
8. Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream and maraschino cherries if desired.
