This hummingbird cheesecake is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the day before my party, and it was even better the next day.

This hummingbird cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

I was hesitant to try this hummingbird cheesecake because I'm not a fan of pineapple, but I'm so glad I did! The pineapple flavor is subtle and perfectly complemented by the cream cheese filling. This cheesecake is a new favorite of mine.
