Description

Indulge in the tropical flavors of this Pineapple Dream Dessert, a luscious no-bake treat that combines creamy goodness with a hint of tangy pineapple. Perfect for a summer gathering or a sweet ending to any meal.


Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 8 oz whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained well

Optional Topping:

  • Extra graham cracker crumbs or crushed pineapple

Instructions

  1. Graham Cracker Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish to form a crust.
  2. Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until combined. Fold in whipped topping, then gently stir in drained crushed pineapple. Spread mixture evenly over the crust.
  3. Chill: Smooth the top, add optional toppings, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Drain pineapple well to avoid a watery filling.
  • For a firmer crust, bake at 350°F for 8 minutes and cool before adding the filling.
  • Light whipped topping or reduced-fat cream cheese can be used for a lighter version.
