Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, chopped pecans, and granulated sugar.
  3. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand.
  4. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  5. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and melted white chocolate.
  4. Gently fold in the drained pineapple and chopped pecans.

3. Assemble and Bake

  1. Pour the filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
  2. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
  3. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  4. Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and let the cheesecake cool inside for about 1 hour. This helps prevent cracks.
