Method
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until well blended.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even layer.
Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden, then cool completely.
Beat together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until fully combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
Mix drained crushed pineapple, coconut cream, granulated sugar, and instant vanilla pudding mix until thickened.
Spread the pineapple mixture over the cream cheese layer evenly.
Top with the remaining whipped topping, smoothing it out evenly.
Sprinkle toasted shredded coconut on top, and add maraschino cherries if desired.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Slice into squares and serve cold.
Notes
Optional: Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra touch of indulgence.
