🧾 Ingredients

🥄 For the Base:

1 sleeve (about 9 sheets) graham crackers, crushed into fine crumbs
1/3 cup melted butter
2 tbsp sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)

🍍 For the Pineapple Cream Layer:

1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

🍒 Optional Toppings:

Extra whipped cream
Maraschino cherries
Toasted coconut
Graham cracker crumbs
Fresh mint leaves

🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Crust:

In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar (if using).
Press firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch (or similar size) dish to form an even layer.
Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

2️⃣ Prepare the Pineapple Cream:

In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the entire can of crushed pineapple with its juice and mix until well combined.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated and fluffy.

3️⃣ Assemble the Dessert:

Spread the pineapple cream mixture evenly over the chilled graham crust.
Smooth the top with a spatula.

4️⃣ Chill & Serve:

Refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Slice into squares and top with whipped cream, cherries, or coconut if desired.

🔁 Alternate Methods

🍫 Chocolate Twist:

Use chocolate graham crackers or add mini chocolate chips to the cream layer for a pineapple-chocolate fusion.

🥥 Coconut Crust:

Replace part of the graham crackers with crushed coconut cookies or toasted coconut for extra tropical flavor.

🍰 Individual Cups:

Layer in parfait cups or mason jars for individual servings — great for parties!

🕰️ History of the Recipe

The no-bake cream dessert gained popularity in the mid-20th century, especially in the 1950s and ‘60s when refrigerator desserts became fashionable. Busy homemakers embraced recipes that used canned fruits, cream cheese, and whipped topping for speed and convenience without sacrificing flavor.

This pineapple cream version became a standout — sweet, tangy, cool, and comforting — and was especially loved in Southern homes, church potlucks, and family reunions.

🧪 Formation & Flavor Science

Here’s why it works:

Graham crust adds buttery crunch and contrast.
Cream cheese provides rich body and slight tang.
Pineapple juice balances sweetness with acidity, cutting through the richness.
Whipped topping creates that soft, mousse-like texture.

It’s a perfect balance of light and luscious, and no oven means less heat in your kitchen — a bonus in hot weather.
