The Way To a Man's♥

Pineapple Surprise Dessert

Ingredients-

1 Jell-O Plain Cheesecake Mix (though you could probably try using the premade Philadelphia Cheesecake)

1 8 oz Box Cream Cheese

1 small can of Crushed Pineapple, drained

1/2 cup of Pecans, crushed/chipped

Pecan halves

Directions-

NOTE: You will not need the crushed graham crackers. You can set them aside to use for a different pie at a later date.

1. Mix together cheesecake mix by directions with softened cream cheese until well blended
2. Mix in drained pineapple and pecan chips
3. Top with a few nice pieces of pecan  halves.
4. Cover and Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving so it will set.

 

I have not attempted using the premade Philadelphia Cheesecake mix yet, but figure it simply would cut down the ingredients list to
Philly Cheesecake mix
Crushed Pineapple, drained
Pecan chips
Mix and refrigerate.

If anyone tries it, please let me know if it still turns out with a thick fluffy texture. Enjoy!
