How to Make Pineapple Cream Dessert
1. Prepare the Crust (Optional)
If you want a firmer, cheesecake-like base:
-
Combine crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl.
-
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish.
-
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
This step adds structure—but the dessert also works beautifully without it.
2. Make the Creamy Filling
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
-
Add powdered sugar and vanilla; mix until the texture is silky.
-
Fold in the whipped topping gently so the mixture stays airy.
-
Stir in the drained crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
The key here is not over-mixing—you want the filling to stay light.
3. Assemble the Dessert
-
Spoon the pineapple cream mixture over your chilled crust, or directly into your serving dish if you’re skipping the crust.
-
Smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or overnight for best results.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the cream to firm up.
Serving Ideas
You can enjoy Pineapple Cream Dessert as-is, or get creative:
-

-

-
