Ingredients
  

1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, drained

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, as desired)

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Fresh pineapple slices and mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8x8-inch dish to form a firm crust. Set aside.

    Make the Cream Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy (about 1-2 minutes). Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully combined.

      Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).

        Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well-combined. To this mixture, fold in the drained crushed pineapple and shredded coconut, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.

          Assemble the Dessert: Spoon the pineapple cream filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.

            Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

              Serve: Once set, cut into squares and garnish with fresh pineapple slices and mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy your tropical treat!
