Pineapple Delight
What You Need
Ingredients
-
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 8 ounces whipped cream cheese
- 20 oz crushed pineapple, drained
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, and graham cracker crumbs.
- Form a crust by pressing the mixture firmly into an 8×8 pan.
- In a separate bowl, mix the whipped cream and half of the whipped cream cheese until thoroughly combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the crust.
- In the same bowl, mix the drained pineapple with the remaining whipped cream cheese until well combined.
- Spread the pineapple mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Place the dessert in the refrigerator to set, preferably for at least four hours, but overnight is best.
- Optional: Before serving, top with additional whipped cream and crumbled graham crackers.
Tips and Variations
- Add a tropical twist by incorporating diced peaches or mango chunks.
- Mix crushed nuts into the crust for added texture and flavor.
- Reduce the sugar for a less sweet dessert, or use low-sugar whipped cream.
- For a vegan version, substitute coconut cream for the whipped cream and use a dairy-free cream cheese.
