Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for crust)
• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar (for filling)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cups pineapple chunks, drained and finely chopped
• 1 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar for the crust. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon or the base of a glass to pack it firmly. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Allow the crust to cool while you prepare the filling.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar (for filling) together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time, beating until just combined after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Fold in the finely chopped pineapple, grated ginger, and flour. Mix until the filling is evenly combined.

Step 7

Pour the filling over the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until thoroughly chilled.

Step 9

Once the cheesecake is chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan. Slice into 16 bars.

Step 10

Optional: Dust the bars lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
