Pineapple Yogurt Cheesecake 凤梨优格芝士蛋糕
Here is another refreshing and delicious cheesecake recipe that I’m sharing with you today, Pineapple Yogurt Cheesecake. It is definitely healthier to use yogurt rather than adding fresh cream in the cheesecake. This is how I created this luscious pineapple cheesecake with mixture of pineapple bits and lemon yogurt. No sugar is added in the filling as the pineapple slices and syrup were already sweet. As usual, it is super quick and easy to do the mixing and perfect to serve it as an end meal dessert.
Pineapple Yogurt Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 1 can pineapple slices in syrup - reserve 100ml pineapple syrup to soak with gelatin powder
Biscuit base

Cheese filling

- 100 ml pineapple syrup - soak together with the 1.5 tbsp gelatin powder for 2 minutes
Topping

- 3/4 tsp agar agar powder
- 1/2 tsp gelatin powder
- few red maraschino cherries - cut into half
Instructions
Biscuit base
- Biscuit base - Grease the sides of an 8 inch removable cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Blend biscuits coarsely and mix well with melted butter (add little more butter if you find the crumbly biscuits are too dry). Pressing the biscuit crumbs with your hand at the bottom of the lined cake pan. Put the tin in the fridge for later use.
Cheese filling
- Blend 4 slices of pineapple coarsely and set aside. Melt gelatin under double boiler and keep warm.
- Place cream cheese, lemon yogurt and lemon juice in a food processor and blend until smooth. Then continue blending and pour in melted gelatin and blend mixture well again. Pour in the blended pineapple and mix well with a rubber spatula.
- Pour cheese mixture into prepared cake pan and chill to set for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Topping
- In a small pot, add water, sugar, agar agar powder and gelatin powder together and stir to boil at medium heat. Cool down liquid a little.
- Place 5 pineapple slices on top of cheesecake and red cherries in the center of the sliced pineapple. Then gradually pour the topping liquid over it. Place the whole cheesecake back to the refrigerator and chill for about an hour before serving.
Notes
OR use a easier method but must do it gently
Scrape the sides of the cheesecake with a hot knife and remove the pan ring. Cover the cheesecake with cling wrap and a cake board on top then upside down the cake and gently remove the cake pan base and turn it back with the help of another cake board.

Can I use more gelatin instead of the agar powder.
Yes you can (use 1.5 tsp gelatin) but must cool down the liquid and pour over the cold cheesecake.
Hi Ann ,Thank you very much ?
Although I’m not a cheese lover, but the dessert looks very inviting!
Perfect for hot weather.
