Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs about 200 g
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted, or coconut oil
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar sifted
- 1-2 tsp vanilla extract
- 20 oz crushed pineapple drained (reserve juice)
- 1-2 Tbsp granulated sugar optional
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and a pinch of salt; press into a 9×9-inch pan. Chill while you prepare the filling.
- In a chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Beat softened cream cheese with reserved pineapple juice and extra vanilla until smooth, adding granulated sugar if needed.
- Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese blend to keep it light and airy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust, then top with an even layer of drained crushed pineapple.
- Smooth remaining whipped cream over the pineapple layer, cover tightly, and chill for at least 4 hours.
- Sprinkle extra graham crumbs, fresh pineapple chunks, or toasted coconut on top before slicing into bars.
