Hi cazzz, don't know their recipe but I found this one and it's given five stars ratings so it must be good.

Pineapple creams are my favourites too. If you like those, you will like the following cheesecake - it's fab.

PINEAPPLE CHEESECAKE

8 digestive biscuits
1 lb curd cheese (medium fat soft cheese)
2 large eggs
1 dessertspoon cornflour
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
5 oz sugar
1 tin crushed pineapple
1 large or 2 small cartons soured cream

9" springform pan (loose bottom, buckle fastener on side)

Grease tin well. Crush biscuits and put in tin - press down with spoon on bottom of tin only. (please note, no butter or marg)

Empty tin of pineapple into sieve and allow to drain naturally - do not squeeze it.

Mix together cheese, cornflour, 2 whole eggs (not beaten), half teaspoon vanilla and 2and a half ozs of the sugar. Mix in pineapple.

Pour over biscuit base and bake at Gas 5 (or equivalent) for 20 minutes. It may still look a bit sloppy - don't worry, take it out anyway.

Leave to stand for at least 1 hour.

Mix together the soured cream, the other 2and a half oz sugar and the other half teaspoon of vanilla. Pour this over the cheesecake and smooth to edges.

Bake for a further 10 minutes.

Allow to cool and then chill in the fridge, preferably overnight.

As this cheesecake is very soft, do not try to remove it from the tin base - serve it from the base.

PS: You can use full fat or low fat soft cheese if curd (medium) is not available, but not cottage cheese. You’re probably better getting it from the cheese counter but make them weigh out exactly one pound.

PPS: Don’t worry if you leave it in the oven too long, it won’t matter – it’s very difficult to spoil this cheesecake.

Enjoy
