Ingredients

For the Crust

2 ½ Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs 2 Sleeves, Divided
½ Cup Butter Melted
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

For the Filling

2 Cups Powdered Sugar
½ Cup Butter Softened
4 Ounces Cream Cheese Softened
8 Ounces Extra Creamy Cool Whip
20 Ounces Crushed Pineapple Drained

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 F. Spray an 8x8 or 9x9 pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with nonstick foil.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and butter. Press into prepared pan with a measuring cup. Bake for 8-10 minutes or refrigerate for 20-30 minutes if you don't want to bake it.
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Stir in powdered sugar a little at a time. Fold in 1 tablespoon of pineapple. Spread over crust.
Fold the remaining pineapple into the Cool Whip and evenly spread on top of cream cheese layer. Top with remaining ½ cup of graham cracker crumbs.
Refrigerate for 4-6 hours. Enjoy!

Notes

Drain pineapple in a colander for 5-10 minutes and press dry with paper towels.

Avoid store bought graham cracker crumbs. Freshly crushed ones taste so much better!

Thaw Cool Whip overnight in the fridge. Do not microwave or it may separate.
