Description
A refreshingly sweet and creamy dessert layered with juicy pineapple chunks, fluffy whipped topping, and a crunchy graham cracker base — perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- Crushed Pineapple: 1 can (20 oz), drained — adds a juicy burst of tropical sweetness
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: 1 can (14 oz) — gives a creamy, rich body to the dessert
- Whipped Topping: 1 container (8 oz), thawed — creates a light, fluffy texture
- Lemon Juice: 2 tablespoons — balances the sweetness with a hint of tartness
- Graham Crackers: 1 1/2 cups, crushed — forms a crumbly base and topping
- Butter: 1/2 cup, melted — helps bind the graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: No preheating needed for this no-bake dessert, but prepare a square or rectangular dish (8×8 inch recommended) by lightly greasing it.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the drained pineapple, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and whipped topping until smooth and well combined.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: In a separate bowl, mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter until evenly moistened. Press half of this mixture into the bottom of your dish to form the crust.
- Assemble the Dish: Pour the pineapple mixture over the crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining graham cracker mixture over the top.
- Cook to Perfection: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set and chilled through.
- Finishing Touches: Garnish with extra whipped topping or fresh pineapple chunks if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice into squares and serve cold. Enjoy the creamy, fruity, and crunchy layers in every bite!
Notes
- For a firmer set, refrigerate overnight.
- Use freshly whipped cream for a richer flavor.
- You can toast the graham cracker crust in the oven for 5 minutes if you prefer a crunchier base.
- Add shredded coconut on top for extra tropical flair.
