This Pineapple Delight dessert has a graham cracker bottom topped with a creamy‚ dreamy pineapple filling. This summer dessert is super easy to make for a crowd and tastes so light and refreshing. There’s nothing like a cool and creamy dessert straight from the refrigerator on a hot summer day. This Pineapple Delight is loaded with little bits of pineapple making it the perfect summery dessert. What I most love about this dessert is that thick graham cracker crust. It tastes so good. The filling for this Pineapple Delight is made from butter‚ eggs‚ powdered sugar‚ and vanilla extract. It needs to get baked briefly. On top is a thick and luscious layer of crushed pineapple mixed with Cool Whip. Ingredient Needed Graham Cracker Crumbs– you can either use store-bought graham cracker crumbs or make them in a food processor or by placing them in a lagre ziptop bag and crushing them until finely crushed. Butter– I use salted butter. If using unsalted butter‚ you may want to add a pinch of salt. Eggs– help set the filling up. Vanilla Extract Powdered Sugar Crushed Pineapple in Juice Cool Whip– or equivalent amount of fresh whipped cream. Make Ahead Dessert This easy pineapple dessert is best made in advance so it has time to chill and set up. Make it at least 4 hours in advance for best results. Recipe Tip Be sure you drain the pineapple well. Place it in a fine-mesh strainer and press on it some to get rid of the excess liquid.
