Pineapple Cheesecake


My mom made me this delicious cheesecake for my birthday. She got the recipe from my great grandma, and we're not sure if it was her own or if she got it from somewhere else. But if you like like pineapple and you like cheesecake, you will definitely enjoy this.

Pineapple Cheesecake
Makes 8 servings.

Crust:
  • 1 1/4 c graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 c sugar (omit sugar if using Honey Maid graham cracker crumbs)
  • 1/3 c melted butter
Combine ingredients together and then reserve 1/4 of the mixture for the top of the cheesecake. Press remaining mixture into bottom and sides of 8 inch pie pan.

Filling:
  • 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1/2 c sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2/3 c milk
  • 1 can (9 oz) crushed pineapple, including juice
Blend together the cream cheese and butter until well mixed, and then add the sugar and egg. Mix thoroughly, then blend the remaining ingredients in the order listed: flour, milk, pineapple.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie pan and spread evenly. Top cheesecake with reserved crumb mixture. Bake for 35 minutes at 350° F. Chill before serving.
