Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pineapple Filling
Combine crushed pineapple and sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure the sugar is evenly distributed. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 2: Create the Cream Cheese Mixture
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add whipped topping and continue to mix until fully combined.
Step 3: Layer the Ingredients
In a serving dish, start by spreading half of the pineapple mixture on the bottom. Next, layer half of the cream cheese mixture over it. Repeat these layers so that you have pineapple, cream cheese, and finish with the remaining pineapple on top.
Step 4: Chill the Dessert
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This allows the layers to set and the flavors to blend beautifully.
