Description

No-Bake Pineapple Cream Dessert is a light, tropical treat layered with a buttery graham cracker crust, fluffy pineapple cream filling, and sweet whipped topping. It’s refreshing, easy to make, and perfect for warm weather or whenever you crave a fruity, fuss-free dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, well-drained
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
  5. Fold in the drained crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
  6. Gently fold in half of the whipped topping until light and fluffy.
  7. Spread the pineapple cream filling evenly over the prepared crust.
  8. Top with the remaining whipped topping and spread it into an even layer.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
  10. Optional: garnish with pineapple tidbits or toasted coconut before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain the pineapple well to avoid a watery filling.
  • Use homemade whipped cream if preferred, but stabilize it with a bit of powdered sugar.
  • Add shredded coconut or chopped pecans for a crunchier texture.
  • Chill overnight for best flavor and structure.
