Ingredients:

For the Crust:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter, melted

For the Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup confectioner’s sugar

8 oz tub whipped topping

14-16 oz large can crushed pineapple, drained

1/2 cup pineapple chunks

1/2 cup shredded coconut for topping
Equipment:

8 x 8-inch or 9 x 9-inch pan

Mixing bowl

Electric mixer or whisk

Instructions:

Prepare the Crust:

Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is well combined.

Form the Crust: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your chosen pan, creating a smooth, even layer. Set aside as you prepare the filling.

Create the Filling:

Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese with the confectioner’s sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Add Whipped Topping: Gradually blend in the whipped topping until the mixture is thoroughly combined and smooth.

Fold in Pineapple: Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

Assemble: Spread the creamy filling evenly over your prepared crust. Sprinkle the pineapple chunks evenly across the top, then garnish with the shredded coconut.

Chill: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, though overnight is preferable to ensure everything sets perfectly.

Enjoy.
