6. Top the cream cheese layer with the pineapple mixture.
7. Refrigerate the dessert to set, ideally for at least four hours, but overnight is best.
8. If desired, top with more whipped cream and a few graham cracker crumbs before serving.
Tips and Variations
You can give this traditional recipe a tropical twist by adding layers of peach or mango, or you can make it crunchier by mixing nuts into the crust. Reduce the sugar in the crust or use natural whipped cream for a less sweet alternative. If you substitute vegan cream cheese for the coconut cream, you can make this delicious dessert even for vegans.
