Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) softened cream cheese
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 cup drained, crushed pineapple
- 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
Crust
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup melted butter
- 20 individual graham crackers, crushed (see Notes)
Topping
- ¼ cup shredded coconut
- ¼ cup drained, diced pineapple
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until it becomes slightly fluffy.
- Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
- Blend in the whipped topping and continue beating until the mixture is fluffy.
- Gently fold in the crushed pineapple with a spatula, then set the mixture aside.
- In a separate small mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, white sugar, and melted butter until the mixture is well blended.
- Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish to form the crust.
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crust using a spatula.
- Sprinkle the shredded coconut and diced pineapple evenly over the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the dessert is firm.
Notes
- The 20 graham crackers refer to 20 individual small rectangles (10 squares) that you would use for s’mores, or 5 large unbroken rectangle sheets from the package.
