Step 3: Add the pineapple layer
- Drain the pineapple thoroughly to remove excess juice (this is very important).
- Gently fold the pineapple into the cream mixture or layer it separately on top of the cream, depending on your preference.
You can either:
- Mix it fully into the cream for a uniform flavor, or
- Layer it for a more visually distinct dessert
Tip: Too much liquid from pineapple can make the dessert runny, so draining well is key.
Step 4: Assemble the dessert
- Spread the cream-pineapple mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
- Smooth the top using a spatula.
- If desired, sprinkle extra crushed graham crackers or small pineapple bits on top for decoration.
Step 5: Chill until set
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid.
- Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, preferably overnight.
This resting time allows the dessert to firm up and the flavors to blend beautifully.
