Frozen Pineapple Cheesecake

This is an old recipe called Frozen Pineapple Cheesecake. It's a no-bake cheesecake which won first place at the Maui Pineapple Festival in 2000. The recipe is by Kristine Snyder, who lives in Hawaii, plays the harp and wins lots of recipe contests. Kristine's a great cook and I didn't want to mess with perfection, but I still added a little vanilla because I like how pineapple and vanilla taste together.

This is a bit like Millionaire Pie, but it has a more elegant presentation and does not call for nuts. The pineapple glaze is the finishing touch, but if you don't feel like making glaze you could just garnish with pineapple sundae topping.

I think next time I make this I might try it in a regular graham cracker crust rather than a springform.

    This looks like such a refreshing dessert for summer. I'm thinking Katrina is on the right track with nuts in the crust - maybe macadamia nuts or pistachios. I bet this would be fun in mini-tart form too.

    Gina, A.J. at the Disney Food blog mentioned the Dole Whip not too long ago. I need to point out his blog, because it's a good one.

    This sounds great! I was thinking that some coconut would be great with this, either some toasted coconut in the crust, or on the top, or maybe both! Too bad my roomie is allergic to coconut...

    Interesting! I may have to try this! I have been in a pineapple place myself lately, having recently returned from Disney World. I am trying to perfect a home version of the beloved Dole Whip, and I'm pretty close. 😉

    It looks yummy! What about some nuts in the crust? I like the taste of nuts with pineapple.
