Easy No-Bake Pineapple Cream Dessert

Ingredients:

• 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained

• 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

• 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)

• 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)

• 1 pre-made graham cracker crust or 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs + 1/3 cup melted butter (for homemade crust)

---

Instructions:

1. Make the filling:
   In a large bowl, mix the crushed pineapple with juice and instant pudding mix until well combined. It’ll start to thicken as you stir.

2. Add the creaminess:
   Fold in the sour cream and whipped topping until smooth and fluffy.

3. Prepare the crust (if making from scratch):

   • Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press into a 9-inch pie dish. Chill for 10 minutes to firm up.

   • Otherwise, use a store-bought graham crust.

4. Assemble:
   Pour the pineapple cream filling into the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

5. Chill:
   Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and chilled.

6. Serve:
   Slice and serve cold, optionally garnished with:

   • Extra whipped cream

   • Pineapple slices or chunks

   • Toasted coconut flakes

   • A maraschino cherry on top

 Tips:

• For individual servings, layer the filling into mini cups or jars with crushed graham crackers at the bottom.

• Add shredded coconut or chopped nuts for texture.

• You can freeze it for a firmer, icebox-style treat!
