A creamy, fluffy, and irresistibly sweet no-bake cheesecake dessert packed with pineapple flavor.
Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- 9x13 inch Dish
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 2 packages Cream cheese, softened (8 oz each)
- 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 container Whipped topping (8 oz), thawed
- 1 can Crushed pineapple (20 oz), well-drained
Topping
- 1 container Whipped topping (8 oz) for topping
- 1/2 cup Crushed pineapple for topping
Garnish
- Graham cracker crumbs or pineapple chunks optional for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish, making sure to create an even layer. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Fold in one (8 oz) container of whipped topping and the well-drained 20 oz can of crushed pineapple. Gently mix until combined and no streaks remain.
- Spread the cream cheese and pineapple mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
- Top with the second (8 oz) container of whipped topping, spreading it gently over the cheesecake layer. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple evenly over the surface. For extra flair, garnish with additional graham cracker crumbs or pineapple chunks if desired.
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set. Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy your slice of pineapple heaven!
Notes
Be sure to drain your pineapple well—excess moisture can make the filling too runny. Chill the dessert as long as possible (overnight is best) for clean, sharp slices.
