Notes
For a different flavor, add a tablespoon of lemon or lime zest to the filling. If you prefer a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping. Make sure to drain the pineapple thoroughly to prevent a runny cheesecake. This cheesecake can be made in advance and will last up to 4-5 days in the fridge; it can also be frozen for up to 2 months. For best flavor, chill the cheesecake overnight before serving.
