1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
20 ounces crushed pineapple (drained)

Instructions
Graham Cracker Crust
In a medium bowl, mix crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture holds together when pressed.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Smooth the crust using the back of a spoon or a glass.
Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.
Cream Cheese Layer

6. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined.
7. Spread evenly over the chilled crust.
Assemble
8. Spread the drained crushed pineapple evenly over the cream cheese layer.
9. Gently spread the Cool Whip over the pineapple layer until fully covered.
Chill & Serve
10. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes
Make sure the pineapple is well-drained to avoid a soggy dessert.
Chill time is essential for proper layering and texture.
You can substitute homemade whipped cream for Cool Whip if preferred.
For extra flavor, add toasted coconut or chopped nuts on top.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
