Pineapple Dream Dessert

graham crackers crumbs

unsalted butter

sugar

salt

cream cheese (softened)

unsalted butter (softened)

(20-ounce) can crushed pineapple (very well drained)

(8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping (thawed)

Preheat the oven to 300°F. &nbsp;

Melt the butter and combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar, and salt. Stir until the graham crackers are coated in the butter.  

Pour about 2 cups of the mixture into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish and firmly press flat to form the crust. I like to use the bottom of a metal measuring cup for this. Set the remaining crumb mixture aside to be used as the topping. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes. Cool completely.  

For the crust:

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together. Add the powdered sugar and mix well. Add the drained pineapple and stir to combine. Fold in the whipped topping.  

Once the crust has cooled, spread the pineapple mixture evenly over the crust.  Sprinkle the top with the remaining crumb mixture. Refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the filling to set. Store covered in the refrigerator.

For the filling:

This bar is so good everyone asks me to bring it to work.
For a real treat I make it as a cream cheese pie. I just double the cheese portion.  I add just a bit of pineapple in that mixture. I lay that right on top of a gram cracker pie crust. I add the rest of the pineapple to the cool whip and put that on top of my cream cheese and cool. 
Oh so good.

I made this for Easter dessert. Good dessert, but 4 cups of powdered sugar was way too much. It would have been better with 1 or 2 cups.

This recipe is a hit at my house.  I have made it several times.  Make sure you use a brand of pineapple that is tasty. I tried a cheap brand once and everyone noticed it was not as good.
