Step-by-step overview
Preparing Tropical Pineapple Cheesecake might sound daunting, but it’s actually quite straightforward. You’ll start by creating a buttery crust that serves as the foundation. After that, the creamy filling is a simple mix of cream cheese, sugar, and egg. A touch of crushed pineapple adds brightness, while a dollop of sour cream ensures that every bite is smooth and rich. Once assembled, bake it until it’s set, cool it down, and refrigerate. Finally, sprinkle on some toasted coconut for that finishing tropical touch!
