For special occasions, we recommend serving with a light tropical fruit salsa or mango coulis, which enhances the flavors without overpowering the palate.
Tips
Prepare the ingredients ahead of time for easier assembly. The base can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
If fresh pineapple isn’t in season, canned pineapple in its own juice (not syrup) is a great alternative. Be sure to drain it well.
For an extra-smooth texture, pass the cream cheese through a sieve before whipping, eliminating any lumps that may have formed during storage.
Keep all utensils cold when whipping the cream for best results and more volume in less time.
If the weather is very hot, refrigerate the bowl and whisks for 15 minutes before whipping the cream to ensure proper whipping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze no-bake pineapple cheesecake?
Yes, this cheesecake freezes perfectly. Freeze it fully assembled in the pan, wrapped in plastic wrap and foil. It can be stored for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours before serving.
What other types of biscuits can I use for the crust?
You can experiment with digestive biscuits, graham crackers, or even gingerbread cookies for different flavors. Adjust the amount of butter based on the absorbency of each type of biscuit.
How long does it keep in the refrigerator?
Properly stored and covered, the cheesecake will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. The quality and texture are optimal for the first 3 days.
Can I use dried pineapple?
Dried pineapple is not recommended for this recipe, as it doesn’t provide the necessary juiciness. If you only have dried pineapple, rehydrate it completely in warm water before using.
Is it possible to make a sugar-free version?
Yes, you can replace the granulated sugar with granulated sweetener in the same amount. For powdered sugar, use a powdered sweetener specifically designed for baking.
