This was my Aunt Blanche's recipe. This cheese cake was at every family get together during the holiday’s.The cheese cake has a light and fluffy filling. This recipe has to be at least 70 years old, or older. I always ate the cheese and pineapple filling off of it. I love this cake. I decided to update the crust. The crust was a sort of biscuit type crust. I tweaked it to modernize it. I paired it with a cake mix crust. It came out fabulous. I also included the original crust recipe. I have so many fond family memories attached to this recipe, and my Aunt.

    take the pineapple filling and spread on top of crust evenly. Take cheese mixture and pour over pineapple mixture. Bake on a sheet pan at 325 degree's for one hour and 15 minutes.Check on cake. Ovens differ. If the sides are browned. Usually the cake is done.The sides of cake will be browning.Note: This has a different cheese consistency than your normal cheese cake. It is softer,and fluffier.Shut oven off,and let the cake cool in oven before removing it. This prevents cracking of cheese cakes. Refrigerate a few hours. Run a sharp knife around the inside edge of pan before removing the sides of spring form pan.Remove sides of spring form pan. Serve on bottom portion of pan. sprinkle cinnamon on top,and serve with whipped cream if desired.keep in fridge. I like to make my cakes a day ahead.They always taste better after refrigerating over night.
