Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained well)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 prepared graham cracker pie crust
- Additional whipped topping & pineapple slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar and beat until fully combined.
- Stir in the drained crushed pineapple and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until set.
- Garnish with extra whipped topping and pineapple slices before serving, if desired.
Tip: For a firmer texture, drain pineapple very well by pressing through a fine strainer or cheesecloth.
If you want, I can also give you a no-bake version that’s slightly thicker and tangier so it slices perfectly. Would you like me to do that?
