Easy No-Bake Pineapple Dessert
A refreshing and easy-to-make dessert featuring a creamy pineapple filling and a crunchy graham cracker crust. No baking required, perfect for a tropical treat!
Ingredients
- 1 can 20 oz crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 package 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping such as Cool Whip
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish to form the crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the whipped topping and drained pineapple, mixing until well combined.
- Spread the pineapple mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust in the baking dish.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts on top for added texture and flavor.
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, or until it firms up.
- Once chilled, slice and serve!
Notes
- For extra flavor, add fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries on top.
- If graham crackers are unavailable, you can substitute with crushed cookies like vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits.
- If you prefer a nut-free option, skip the walnuts or use coconut flakes for a tropical twist.
- Make ahead: You can prepare this dessert the day before serving for better flavor.
- This dessert stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
