If you love cheesecake and pineapple upside down cake then this is a no brainer! It began with my favorite cheesecake…the one from the famous restaurant Juniors! I let the cheesecake chill completely. I even made it two days before serving because it holds up that well! Then I prepared my pineapple upside down cake. I let it cool at room temp and then transferred it directly on top of the cheesecake! Perfect fit. I chilled that overnight and served straight from the fridge. Perfection. This is such a great dessert because you can prepare it days in advance! Feel free to just use the pineapple upside down cake recipe without the cheesecake too!

Pour 2/3 cup of batter each into two 4″ round cake pans, prepped with butter and flour. Pour the remaining batter into a piping bag fitted with a 1/2″ round tip. Pipe half-dollar size rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silpat. Using a fine mesh sieve, sprinkle confectioners sugar over wafers, only, not cake batter.
