Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Graham crackers
- 120 ml Unsalted butter, melted
- 225 g Cream cheese, softened
- 120 g Powdered sugar
- 435 g Crushed pineapple in juice (canned, drained)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 240 ml Whipped topping (thawed, if frozen)
- 2 tbsp Additional graham cracker crumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to create the crust. Use the bottom of a flat glass or a spatula to ensure it's packed evenly. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add the drained crushed pineapple and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Fold together gently with a spatula until well incorporated.
Spread the pineapple-cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
Gently spread the whipped topping over the pineapple layer, covering it completely.
Optional: Sprinkle the top with additional graham cracker crumbs for decoration.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set completely.
Once set, cut into squares and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
