Ingredients
- Graham Crackers- This will be used for the crumb base.
- Butter- Use unsalted butter to control the amount of salt in the recipe.
- Cream Cheese- Use softened or at room temperature.
- Powdered Sugar- This sugar is best for homemade icing.
- Pineapple- You will need a can of crushed pineapple. (You will use about 3/4 of the crushed pineapple and the other 1/4 in the cool whip)
- Cool Whip- This will be used for the cool whip layer.
How to Make Pineapple Cheesecake
Start off the recipe by setting the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine 2 1/2 cups of coffee crushed graham cracker crumbs and melted butter into a large mixing bowl and combine.
Press 2 cups of the mixture into the bottom of a 9 by 9-inch baking dish.
Put the baking dish into the oven and bake for 9 minutes.
Next, take the pan out of the oven and allow it to cool thoroughly.
Using a strainer, add in a can of the crushed pineapple and drain all of the juice.
Add the butter and cream cheese into a standing mixer and beat until smooth and creamy.
Next, add in the powdered sugar and combine until fully incorporated.
Then, add 3/4 of the crushed pineapple into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula to fold in.
Put some of the cream cheese mixtures onto the crust and spread out.
Then, add the last of the pineapple and cool whip into a large mixing bowl, and combine.
Next, spread out the pineapple mixture on top of the cream cheese mixture.
Sprinkle the rest of the graham cracker crust on top of the cool whip layer.
Then, use some plastic wrap to cover the recipe, and place it into the fridge to chill overnight.
Enjoy!
What kind of pineapple do I use?
For this recipe, you will be using canned pineapple. You can use fresh pineapple, but this just makes it easier. Either one will allow the cake to have the best flavoring.
Can Pineapple Cheesecake be Frozen?
Yes, this Pineapple cheesecake can be frozen. You will need to place the recipe in the correct container such as an airtight container. Keeping in the freezer will also help with the shelf life of the cheesecake.

Can you use a graham cracker pie crust instead of making the trust?
Hi Sherry. Yes, The graham cracker crust will be a good substitute.
No bake cheesecake
Step 1 – preheat your oven.
What? I’m still making it. That just made me laugh.
Easy to make and very tasty
Thank Sherry!
Love your recipes can’t wait to try them they look delicious thank you
Wait. I’m confused. “Coffee crushed graham cracker crumbs?!” You lost me.
Hi Rebecca. That was a typo in the body of the post. Should read “crushed graham cracker crumbs” as in the recipe card.
I was confused too but if you scroll down farther you’ll see the correct directions!!
I made this for myself just try it. Then I had to make two more to share. This is one of the best desserts that I have come across. Easy to make. Easy to travel. Easy to share.
Thank you Mary!
I made it with pineapple the first time, then made one with powder cocoa and cherry so good ty for the recipe
Thanks Vonda!
This is very pretty and if I didn’t know
it had so much butter it would taste better. It’s not bad the way it is but if I make it again intend to leave out the butter in the filling. I will use two cream cheese blocks instead. Thank you for sharing. I had been looking for a recipe
that was similar to a boxed cheese cake mix my mom made when I was growing up. It was similar.
I was wondering if you could use the already made cheesecake cream cheese?
Hi Amber. I wouldn’t recommend the already made for this recipe. I think it would be fine in many no bake desserts, but I don’t think you would get good results using it in this recipe. If you try it though let us know!
This says it’s a no bake recipe but the first words of the directions are to preheat the oven! What the heck! I love pineapple and cheesecake and my oven is not going on when it’s 100 degrees outside! Wanted to take this to a family gathering but will have to find something else now. So disappointed!!
Just buy a ready made crust from the grocery store. Viola!! No baking
You could always make the filling portion skip the crust and use it as a dip for fruit or vanilla wafers, and grab crackers.
Like cheese cakes that use 1 pkg of cream cheese.
I don’t see any measurements for the ingredients
Hi Kim. The measurements and full recipe are in the recipe card near the bottom of the post.
delicious recipe
So easy and delicious
Thanks Freida!
Absolutely wonderful tropical delight. I will be making this again and again.
Glad you loved it Nancy!
I made the pineapple cheesecake and my husband loved it!!
Awesome Kenda! Thanks!
Can I use vanilla instant pudding mix instead of cheesecake pudding mix
Hi Frances. Yes, that substitution would work fine.
Pudding mix? I didn’t see that listed in the recipe.
Are we still talking about the No-Bake Pineapple Cheesecake??
Thank you! I re- read the recipe twice to see where I missed it
Love, love,love! I’m a big fan of pineapple cheesecake this looks and sounds absolutely delicious can’t wait to make this for me and my sons! I’m let you know what they think!!
Thanks, for the recipe!!
Made this amazing dessert many times. And they keep asking for more.
