Hawaiian No Bake Cheesecake Recipe

This Hawaiian no bake cheesecake is one of my favorites to make. I live in Florida, so I've been raised on tropical fruits.

When I go on a cruise, one of my favorite things to do is have fresh tropical fruit from the area, so of course my cheesecake will feature DOLE Tropical Fruit.

If tropical fruit isn't your thing, you can substitute it out with any of the great DOLE canned fruit varieties available. They have a tone of selections, including Mandarin Oranges, Mangoes, and several varieties of pineapple, so it won't be hard to find one that you love.

When I was pregnant with Angeline, I practically lived off of their pineapple chunks!
