Ingredients

For the Crust

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup melted butter

For the Filling

1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
1½ cups cold milk
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar

For the Topping

2 cups whipped topping (Cool Whip)
Pineapple chunks for garnish

Directions

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. In another bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until thick. Add the pudding mixture to the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth. Stir in the drained crushed pineapple.

Spread the pineapple filling evenly over the chilled crust.

Spread the whipped topping over the filling and smooth the top with a spatula.

Sprinkle extra graham cracker crumbs over the top and decorate with pineapple chunks.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.

Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Add toasted coconut on top for extra tropical flavor.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
