2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups pineapple chunks
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 packet gelatin
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
In a saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, powdered sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Dissolve the gelatin in 1/4 cup of cold water, then add it to the cooled pineapple mixture. Stir well.
