🍰 Instructions

1. Make the Cream Base:

   • In a mixing bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks (skip if using whipped topping).

   • Fold in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and crushed pineapple with juice (don’t drain).

2. Prepare the Layers:

   • In a 9×9 inch dish (or individual cups), layer crushed graham crackers, then spoon over the pineapple cream mixture.

   • Repeat layers once or twice, ending with cream on top.

3. Chill:

   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best texture.

4. Garnish & Serve:

   • Top with toasted coconut, nuts, or cherries before serving.
