Ingredients
  

2 cups crushed pineapple, drained

1 cup heavy whipping cream

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup crushed graham crackers (about 10 full sheets)

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Fresh pineapple slices, for garnish

Whipped cream, for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, shredded coconut, and chopped walnuts (if using). Mix well until combined.

    Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and creamy.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

        Combine: Gently fold the drained crushed pineapple into the cream cheese-whipped cream mixture until evenly distributed.

          Layer the Dessert: In a 9x9 inch dish, spread a layer of the graham cracker mixture on the bottom. Next, pour half of the pineapple cream mixture over the base. Repeat the layers with the remaining graham cracker mixture and then the pineapple cream mixture, ensuring the top layer is the cream mixture.

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

              Serve: Before serving, top with fresh pineapple slices and a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy your refreshing No Bake Pineapple Cream Dessert!
