Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or natural sweetener
Filling
- 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup thickened cream or heavy cream
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar or natural sweetener
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8 oz sliced pineapple (tinned or fresh, about 4 slices), crushed or finely diced
Garnish
- 4 pineapple slices (extra, to garnish)
- 4 maraschino cherries (to garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar or sweetener until the mixture resembles wet sand. Set this mixture aside.
- Make the filling: Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the softened cream cheese, thickened cream, and sugar or sweetener until smooth and creamy. Then gently fold in the Greek yogurt, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
- Assemble the base: Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly among 4 individual serving glasses, pressing it firmly into the bottom to form the crust layer.
- Add the filling and chill: Spoon the cream cheese and pineapple mixture over the crust in each glass. Cover the glasses and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to allow the cheesecakes to set and chill thoroughly.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, top each cheesecake with a pineapple slice and a maraschino cherry placed in the center of the pineapple ring for a bright, attractive finish.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and low-fat Greek yogurt.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
- Fresh pineapple can be used instead of tinned for a fresher flavor.
- Chilling time can be extended to 1 hour if you want a firmer texture.
- These cheesecakes are best enjoyed within 24 hours of preparation for optimal freshness.
