Ingredients
  

1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

½ cup shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)

Maraschino cherries (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until well mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x8 inch square baking dish to form an even crust layer. Set aside.

    Make the Cream Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and continue to beat until well combined.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

        Combine Pineapple: Carefully fold the drained crushed pineapple into the cream mixture until well combined. Be gentle to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream.

          Assemble the Dessert: Spoon the pineapple cream mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

            Chill: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set (overnight is even better for optimal flavor).

              Garnish and Serve: Once set, remove from the refrigerator. If desired, sprinkle the top with shredded coconut and add maraschino cherries for decoration before slicing into squares and serving.
