Instructions

Prep & Crust

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture into the pan’s base and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.

Cheesecake Filling

Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in 1 cup sugar. Add sour cream and vanilla; blend until smooth. Mix in eggs one at a time. Fold in pineapple juice, lime zest, and lime juice until combined.

Bake

Pour the filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes until the center is set and edges are lightly browned.

Cool

Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour to prevent cracking. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.

Serve

Top with crushed pineapple, whipped cream, lime slices, and mint leaves for a fresh finish.

Notes

Chilling Time

For the best flavor and texture, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving Suggestions

Garnish with additional lime zest or a drizzle of lime juice for extra tanginess.

Storage

Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
