Cheesecake with Pineapple
Description
The baking is simple and quick. For making a pie with cottage cheese and pineapples, use richer cottage cheese, as this will make the dough much softer and tastier. By the way, using this recipe, you can also make pies with pears, apples, or peaches. Instead of coconut caramel, you can prepare a crumb topping from shortbread dough or caramel made with brown sugar.
