Ingredients:
Graham Cracker Crust:
1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
46 grams brown sugar
42 grams sugar
6-7 tablespoons melted butter (add slowly, may not need all)
Cheesecake:
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
80 grams sour cream, room temperature
1 tablespoon heavy cream, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
140 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 eggs, room temperature
25 maraschino cherries, cut in half
4 slices canned pineapple, cut into chunks
Garnish:
Whipped cream
Pineapple slices (use the rest from 1 can, cut in half)
Cherries with stems
Directions:
Crust: Preheat oven to 300°F (149°C). Spray a 6x3-inch removable bottom pan with non-stick spray, line with parchment, and spray again. Mix crust ingredients and press into pan. Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool on a rack over a jellyroll pan.
Cheesecake: Beat cream cheese until creamy, about 4-5 minutes, scraping the bowl a few times. Mix in sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Add eggs gently, then fold in cherries and pineapple. Pour into crust. Bake at 300°F for 12 minutes, then at 225°F for 95 minutes without opening the oven. Leave in the off oven for 1 hour, then crack open the oven for another hour. Cool on a rack, then chill overnight. Remove from pan, place on cake plate, and garnish.
