How to Craft Your Pineapple Dream Dessert ?
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
Crush the graham crackers and drain the crushed pineapple.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
Stir in the graham cracker crumbs into the melted butter until well combined.
Press 2 cups of this crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch square baking dish.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then allow it to cool completely.
Beat the cream cheese and room temperature butter until creamy, using a stand or electric mixer.
Gradually add in the powdered sugar on a low setting until all is incorporated and smooth.
Stir in a heaping tablespoon of the well-drained crushed pineapple.
Spread this cream cheese mixture over the cooled graham cracker crust.
In a separate bowl, combine the thawed whipped topping with the remaining crushed pineapple. Stir until it thickens.
Spread this whipped topping mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Sprinkle the remaining graham cracker crumb mixture on top.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
