Preparation :
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust.
In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and whipped heavy cream until evenly incorporated.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
