## **History of No-Bake Cheesecake**
No-bake cheesecakes have been a favorite since the mid-20th century, gaining popularity for their simplicity and versatility. Unlike traditional baked cheesecakes, which rely on eggs for structure, no-bake versions use whipped cream or gelatin for stability. The addition of pineapple brings a tropical twist, inspired by classic pineapple upside-down cake and Hawaiian flavors.
