Pineapple Dessert

I saw this on Amanda’s Cooking (what a great name!😉) and had to give it a try. The biggest changes I made were adding a bit more butter to the crust so that it would stay together better and double the filling ingredients. I like a nice big slice of this dessert and found that by increasing the filling (but not the sugar) it fit just perfectly into a 10×15 pan.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Graham Crackers: You will need about 26 sheets of graham crackers to equal 4 cups crushed. You could also buy graham cracker crumbs to use for the crust and topping.

Butter: You will use butter to coat the graham cracker crumbs and to use in the filling. When coating the graham crackers, be sure they are completely coated in the melted butter.

Pineapple: You will need 2, 20-ounce cans of crushed pineapple for this recipe. Drain the pineapple before adding it to the filling. You could also experiment with other fruits like strawberries or blueberries.

Whipped Topping: For the creamiest whipped cream, make your own. (I also have stabilized whipped cream you could use.) Or, use store-bought whipped topping like cool whip.

Can I Use a Different Sized Pan?

This recipe makes a large batch that can feed 12 people easily. In fact, it might even be enough for 24 people if they have a slice each. The recipe is intended for a 10×15-inch baking dish, but it can also fit into a 9×13-inch pan. However, when using the smaller pan, the ingredients may come right up to the top and cause graham cracker crumbs to spill over and make a mess in your refrigerator.

How to Store Pineapple Dessert

Store pineapple dessert in the refrigerator, covered. It will last 3-4 days.
