No‑Bake Pineapple Dream Dessert
Pineapple Dream Dessert is a quick and creamy layered dessert. Pineapple, whipped cream and cream cheese are layered on top of a graham cracker crust. This no-bake recipe is perfect for hot summer potlucks or anytime you want a fuss-free treat.
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 ½ cups Graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup Butter, melted
Filling
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, 1 brick, softened
- ½ cup Butter, softened
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 20 ounces Crushed pineapple, 1 can, drained
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, 1 tub
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan to form an even crust. Chill for 10 minutes.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and beat until well blended.
- Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple. Fold in the Cool Whip until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Spread the pineapple filling evenly over the graham cracker crust. Top with additional crushed graham crackers. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours.
Christina's Notes
- Crushed pineapple provides the best texture and distributes evenly throughout the cream layer. Drain thoroughly to avoid a watery filling. You can reserve the juice for smoothies or cocktails.
- Make Your Own Graham Cracker Crust: Homemade crusts are less salty and more flavorful than pre-made mixes.
- Whip Your Own Cream (If You Can)Fresh whipped cream adds a richer, more natural flavor.
- Chill Thoroughly Before Serving: Chilling helps the layers firm up and the flavors meld. Let it chill for at least 2–4 hours, or make it the night before for best results.
- Don’t Freeze It Cream-based desserts don’t freeze well and can separate or become grainy.
