‍ Instructions

 

1️⃣ Make the Crust:

▪ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

▪ In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined.

▪ Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, creating an even layer.

▪ Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.

 

2️⃣ Prepare the Filling:

▪ In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

▪ If you love extra pineapple flavor, add 1–2 tablespoons of the reserved pineapple juice.

 

3️⃣ Fold in the Pineapple:

▪ Gently mix in the drained crushed pineapple until well combined.

 

4️⃣ Whip the Cream:

▪ In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form (or use whipped topping for an easy shortcut).

 

5️⃣ Combine & Assemble:

▪ Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese-pineapple mixture, keeping it light and fluffy.

▪ Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading evenly.

 

6️⃣ Chill & Set:

▪ Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours (overnight is even better!) to firm up.

 

7️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

▪ Slice and serve chilled.

▪ Top it off with extra pineapple chunks, toasted coconut, or whipped cream for a tropical touch!
