Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and ¼ cup sugar. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared dish to form an even crust.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, and mix well.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated after each addition.
5. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
7. While the cheesecake cools, prepare the pineapple topping by combining the pineapple chunks, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut in a bowl.
8. Once the cheesecake has cooled, spread the pineapple topping evenly over the surface.
9. Drizzle with melted white chocolate and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
