Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, well-drained

For the Topping:

1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and softened butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fully combined. Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
Assemble the Dessert: Spread the filling evenly over the prepared crust. Top with the whipped topping, spreading it into an even layer.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or until set. Garnish with additional graham cracker crumbs before serving, if desired.

Notes

Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
You can also use a store-bought graham cracker crust to save time.
The dessert can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before serving for the best texture.
