1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup sour cream

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

For the topping:

Prepare the crust:

In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined.

Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.

Prepare the cheesecake filling:

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour. Beat until smooth and creamy.

Assemble and bake:

Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust and spread it evenly.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center is set and slightly golden on top.

Add topping:

Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.

Once cooled, top with crushed pineapple and fresh pineapple chunks for decoration.

Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) to allow the flavors to set.
