Pineapple dream is one of those perfect potluck desserts. Cream cheese, pineapple, whipped cream and graham crackers, yum!

📝 Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups graham crumbs (divided, 2 sleeves)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 8 oz Cool Whip (fat-free)
  • 20 oz crushed pineapple (drained well)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 300 F. (See no-bake option above in "Before You Begin")
  2. 2Melt butter in the microwave and allow to cool. Combine the crumbs and butter and toss together until incorporated. Press 2 cups of the graham cracker crumb mixture firmly into an 9×9 square pan and bake for 8-10 minutes. Place on wire rack to cool.
  3. 3Beat the cream cheese and butter together until creamy. Turn the mixer down to low and add the powdered sugar one cup at a time until incorporated. Turn up and beat well for a minute or so. Add 1 heaping tablespoon of the drained pineapple and stir in with a rubber spatula. Spread the cream cheese and pineapple mixture over the crust.
  4. 4Fold the remaining drained pineapple into the Cool Whip and spread on top of the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of the graham cracker crumb mixture on top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
