2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, well-drained

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese with the sifted confectioners’ sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the well-drained crushed pineapple to the cream cheese mixture and blend well.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until everything is well combined.
Spread the creamy pineapple filling over the chilled crust. Sprinkle the top with the reserved graham cracker crumbs.
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and chill it thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 2 to 3 hours before serving.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your easy no-bake pineapple cheesecake!
