Here’s a simple and delicious No-Bake Pineapple Cream Dessert recipe. It’s creamy, fruity, and perfect for when you want something sweet without turning on the oven.
No-Bake Pineapple Cream Dessert
Servings: 6–8
Ingredients:
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 prepared graham cracker crust (or use crushed graham crackers with melted butter for a homemade crust)
- Optional garnish: maraschino cherries, pineapple chunks, or toasted coconut
Instructions:
- Prepare the cream mixture:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and well combined.
- Fold in whipped topping:
- Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Add pineapple:
- Fold in the drained crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
- Assemble the dessert:
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared graham cracker crust.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until firm. Overnight is even better for the flavors to meld.
- Serve:
- Slice and garnish with extra pineapple, maraschino cherries, or toasted coconut if desired.
Tips:
- For extra texture, you can sprinkle some chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) on top before serving.
- If you like a tangy twist, add a teaspoon of lemon or lime juice to the cream mixture.
If you want, I can also give a layered version with crushed pineapple, cream, and a graham cracker crumble that looks extra fancy but is still no-bake. It’s perfect for parties!
Do you want me to share that layered version?
