Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Filling

  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 8 oz tub whipped topping
  • 14–16 oz large can crushed pineapple, drained

Topping

  • 1/2 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar, then stir in the melted butter until the mixture is well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8 x 8- or 9 x 9-inch pan to form an even crust layer.
  2. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the confectioner’s sugar until the mixture becomes very smooth and creamy.
  3. Add whipped topping and pineapple: Gently beat in the tub of whipped topping until fully integrated, then carefully fold in the drained crushed pineapple to keep the mixture light and airy.
  4. Assemble the dessert: Spread the pineapple cream cheese filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust. Arrange the pineapple chunks evenly over the top and sprinkle with shredded coconut for flavor and decoration.
  5. Chill: Place the dessert in the refrigerator and chill it thoroughly for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth blending.
  • Drain the crushed pineapple well to prevent the filling from becoming too watery.
  • The dessert can be prepared a day in advance to enhance flavors and texture.
  • For a nutty twist, add chopped nuts to the crust if desired.
  • Use fresh pineapple chunks as a garnish for added texture and appearance.
