Christina's Notes
Drain the pineapple thoroughly to prevent a watery filling.
Homemade graham cracker crumbs provide the best flavor and texture.
For an extra-pretty presentation, garnish with additional whipped topping before serving.
This dessert can be prepared the night before serving.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Do not freeze, as the filling may separate after thawing.
Reserve the pineapple juice for smoothies, mocktails, or baking recipes.
