Pineapple Cheesecake 

Hi guys today I will be sharing No bake pineapple cheesecake with fruit salad jelly 

For the Base

80 g melted butter

19 pcs of Marie crushed ( you can use any plain biscuits)

For the cheesecake 

1 tbsp gelatin

1/4 cup hot  boiling water

500 g of cream cheese

1/2 cup water

2/3 cup sugar

450 g of can crushed pineapple  ( drain the liquid out )

3 eggs

300 ml whipping cream 

Optional 

2 packet of pineapple jelly  (  I use less water)

fruit salad

glazed cherries

Combine the biscuit crumbs and butter, Press the mixture into a base of a 24 cm spring form pan , lined with baking paper Refrigerate. 

Begin by blooming the gelatine, combine the 1/4 cup of hot water with the gelatine and set aside. Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks, drain the syrup from the pineapple. ( Do not use fresh pineapple the enzyme from fresh pineapple will prevent the gelatine from setting.) 

Combine sugar and water in a medium pan, then put over a stove with heat setting at medium heat, bring to a boil and keep at a rolling boil for 6 minutes, or until sugar syrup reaches softball stage (118 deg C) on a candy thermometer.

Meanwhile while waiting for the sugar to reach softball  start beating the eggs in a large bowl, re melt the gelatine in the microwave for 20 seconds (should be liquid form again) . 

When the sugar syrup reach 118 deg C  gradually pour this in the eggs that you are beating  (don't stop beating to avoid the eggs from curdling) Add the gelatine mixture and continue to beat for further 3-4 minutes until mixture is thick and lukewarm. 

Set aside while we move on to the next step

Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, add the crushed pineapple, fold in the egg mixture and fold in the whipping cream as well. Pour in the prepared pan and refrigerate until set. 

To decorate (optional ) you can decorate with fresh fruit on top or you can use my method.

Once the cheesecake is set you can decorate the cheesecake the cheesecake takes about 2 hours to set on top but about 4 hours to fully set. 

Follow the manufactures instruction on how to prepare the flavoured jelly except use less water so the gelatine is firmer.  

Fill the top of the cheesecake with fruit salad  and glazed cherries then pour the cooled gelatine  let it set fully about 4 hours then release from the cheesecake pan. 

Enjoy
