Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Crumbled graham crackers
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Canned crushed pineapple in juice, drained
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
- 6 pieces Maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cups Toasted coconut (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crumbled graham crackers and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish to form the crust. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.
Gently fold in the whipped topping, making sure not to deflate the mixture.
Remove the crust from the refrigerator and spread the pina colada filling evenly over the graham cracker crust.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or until set.
Once set, slice the dessert into squares and garnish with maraschino cherries and toasted coconut, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy your tropical pina colada dessert!
