I will not be making this cheesecake again; it was like eating whipped cream cheese with pineapple chunks. No one in my family liked this cheesecake either.

I really loved this dessert. It wasn't too sweet and it was very light. I would recommend that everybody try it, especially that it is so easy to make.

I adore this cheesecake. The only changes I made were to use double the pecans in the crust, 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar and no coconut. I used pineapple jello dissolved in the pineapple juice and the water after bringing them to a boil. It gave it more pineapple flavor
