Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 sheets Graham crackers
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Pineapple chunks (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (including its juice) and sweetened condensed milk. Mix well until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pineapple and condensed milk mixture to create a light and airy filling.
In a 9x9-inch square baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers, breaking them as needed to fit the shape of the pan.
Spread 1/3 of the pineapple filling over the layer of graham crackers, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.
Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the filling, followed by another 1/3 of the pineapple mixture. Repeat this process once more, finishing with a layer of the pineapple filling on top.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight to allow the graham crackers to soften and meld with the filling.
Before serving, optionally garnish the top with pineapple chunks or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs for added texture.
Slice into squares and serve chilled.
