A refreshing and easy no bake dessert made with creamy layers and tropical pineapple flavor.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar sifted
- 20 oz crushed pineapple drained
- 8 oz fat-free Cool Whip
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F if you prefer a baked crust. Alternatively, skip this step for a no-bake method.
- Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave and let it cool slightly.
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined.
- Press 2 cups of the crumb mixture firmly into a 9x9 square pan. If baking, bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy.
- Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, while mixing on low speed until fully mixed.
- Increase the mixer speed and beat the mixture well for about a minute.
- Stir 1 heaping tablespoon of drained pineapple into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spread the cream cheese and pineapple mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
- In another bowl, combine the remaining drained pineapple with the fat-free Cool Whip.
- Spread the pineapple and Cool Whip mixture over the cream cheese layer in the pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumb mixture on top.
- Refrigerate the Pineapple Delight for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set.
