This recipe is tried and true! I make this every year for my Dad's birthday. He asked if I will make it for Easter this year too. I love this, and every time I make it, I think about how much my Dad enjoyes it. I hope you will enjoy it too. Plan ahead - allow minimum of 6 hours to chill. Time DOES NOT include cooling.

  • To ensure a smooth and creamy cheesecake, use high-quality cream cheese that is at room temperature.
  • Use fresh and ripe pineapple and oranges. If using canned fruit, be sure to drain and rinse it thoroughly.
  • To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, bake it in a water bath.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before serving. This will help it set properly and prevent it from falling apart.
  • For a more intense fruit flavor, you can use a mixture of fresh and canned fruit.
