Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs Try crushed Oreos for a different flavor experience.
  • 6 tablespoons Melted Butter Substitute with coconut oil for a tropical twist.
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese Ensure it's at room temperature to avoid lumps.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Consider using less for a lighter treat.
  • 2 large Eggs Make sure they are room temperature.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract A splash of coconut extract can complement the tropical theme!
For the Topping
  • 1 can (20 oz) Pineapple Chunks Drain thoroughly to keep cheesecakes from becoming soggy.
  • 1/4 cup Caramel Sauce Consider using homemade for that extra indulgent touch.

Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • Mixing Bowls
  • spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well blended. Spoon the mixture into each muffin cup and press it down firmly to create a solid base. Bake the crust for about 5-7 minutes until slightly golden.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well. Finally, blend in the vanilla extract.
  4. Retrieve the muffin tin and spoon the cheesecake filling into each cup over the crust. Top with drained pineapple chunks.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are set and centers jiggle slightly.
  6. Let cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  7. Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce and enjoy!
