melted butterFilling:½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) butter, at room temperature8 ounces cream cheese
at room temperature2 cups (250 g) confectioners’ sugar2 cans (20 ounces each) crushed pineapple, drained16 ounces whipped topping (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
Start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, prepare the graham cracker crust. In a large bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with melted butter until well combined.
Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, creating an even layer.
Bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until it’s golden and set. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
Next, prepare the filling by combining butter and cream cheese in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat them together until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add in the confectioners’ sugar and continue beating until the mixture is fluffy and well combined.
Once the filling is smooth, add the drained crushed pineapple, stirring until evenly distributed.
Gently fold in the whipped topping, ensuring everything is well incorporated. The filling should be light and airy, with a nice balance of sweetness and tang.
