What You Need

roll (18 oz.) refrigerated sliceable sugar cookies

pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

1/2

cup sugar

1/2

cup thawed frozen pina colada tropical fruit mixer concentrate

tsp. vanilla

1/2

cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

eggs

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 325°F if using a silver 9-inch springform pan (or to 300°F if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Cut cookie dough into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices, slightly overlapping, on bottom and 2 inches up side of greased springform pan. Press edges together to form crust. Bake 12 to 15 min. or until lightly browned.

BEAT cream cheese, sugar, fruit mixer concentrate and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add sour cream; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low after each addition just until blended. Pour into crust.

BAKE 50 to 55 min. or until center is almost set. Cool completely. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.

so these reviews are confusing. yes - the cheesecake is nice and tastes good and it's easy to make - but does it taste like pina colada? no, not at all. so if you are adding cans of crushed pineapple and some coconut and/or some coconut extract then you are making a different recipe? it's a good cheesecake, but there is nothing pina colada about it so if you are looking for a pina colada cheesecake recipe, then this isn't your recipe ;)

This is my husbands #1 favorite dessert. I make it for him at least once every couple months. I add a well drained 8 oz. can of crushed pineapple and some coconut to the batter, and I also top it with more pineapple and toasted coconut before serving. So, so, so, so good!

Good cheesecake, but no pina colada flavor came through despite adding some extra concentrate.

I tried this recipe 2 years ago for thanksgiving and my family LOVED it, they request it for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I dont do very much cooking because I dont have any kids but everytime I bring this over for the holidays I always leave with an empty pan. I like to use a whole can of the pina colada concentrate and take out the sour cream. This allows more of the pina colada flavor to come through it also puts more pineapple in every bite! I also use a graham cracker crust instead of the cookie dough.

Awesome recipe! I made it for a weekly dinner with friends. Everyone raved about it. I added twice the amount of coconut in the cheesecake mixture. To top it off, I put a dollop or cool whip on each piece with some pineapple and sprinkled coconut. I will definately make this again.

The crust on this cheesecake was a little softer than a typical cheesecake so it was very difficult to serve in one piece, but the taste was wonderful and I plan to use the recipe again!
