Making the No Bake Pineapple Cream Dessert is straightforward. Follow these steps to bring this delicious treat to life:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the Base: Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even crust layer. Set aside.
3. Mix Cream Cheese: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until creamy and smooth.
4. Add Sugars and Vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.
5. Incorporate Pineapple: Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to crush the pineapple chunks.
6. Whip Cream: In another mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This will add a wonderful lightness to the dessert.
7. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pineapple cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
8. Layer the Mixture: Spoon the cream mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
9. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the dessert is firm and set.
10. Garnish: Before serving, you may wish to add shredded coconut on top for a tropical touch or decorate with maraschino cherries.

Make sure to keep a close eye on the chilling time; the longer it sits, the better the flavors meld together!
