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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
