Ingredients:
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained (reserve juice)
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
4 tbsp melted butter
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (optional for extra sweetness)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional for flavor enhancement)
Instructions:
Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or a square baking pan to form the crust. Place it in the fridge while you prepare the cream layer.
Make the pineapple cream mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the whipped topping and mix gently until well combined.
Add the pineapple: Stir in the drained pineapple (reserving the juice for optional use later). For added sweetness, you can mix in sweetened condensed milk and a splash of vanilla extract at this point.
Assemble the dessert: Take the prepared graham cracker crust from the fridge and spread the pineapple cream mixture evenly over the top. Use a spatula to smooth it into an even layer.
Chill: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together and the dessert to firm up.
Serve and enjoy: Once chilled, slice the dessert and serve chilled. Garnish with extra pineapple chunks or shredded coconut for an added tropical touch.
