Pineapple cheesecake: the recipe for a fresh and creamy dessert, without baking
Pineapple cheesecake is a very fresh and delicate cake that doesn’t need baking, an ideal dessert for the summer, but that you can make all year round; for the preparation you can use both fresh pineapple and pineapple in syrup. In our recipe we made the classic cheesecake base without baking with chopped dry biscuits and melted butter, making the cream with ricotta cheese, yogurt, cream and jelly. For the garnish, a delicious jelly with pineapple juice and pulp and cornstarch will be made, but you can also decorate the cake with pineapple slices or as you like. Once ready, enjoy it fresh and creamy for breakfast, as a snack or as an exquisite dessert. But now let’s see all the steps to prepare it.
