STEP 3 — Prepare the Pineapple Coconut Mixture

1. Drain the crushed pineapple well — too much liquid makes the dessert watery.
2. In a bowl, combine pineapple, shredded coconut, whipped topping, and reserved pineapple juice.
3. Mix until the texture is creamy and the ingredients are evenly combined.
4. Spread this tropical mixture over the cream cheese layer.

💡 If you love coconut, toast some of it before mixing for deeper flavor.

STEP 4 — Add the Final Touches

1. Sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top for a beautiful snowy finish.
2. Add a few pineapple chunks or coconut curls for decoration (optional).
3. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid.

STEP 5 — Chill Until Set

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better.
This allows all the layers to firm up and the flavors to blend into creamy tropical perfection.

🌴 Serving Suggestions

• Serve chilled straight from the fridge.
• Add a mint leaf or cherry on top for color.
• Pair it with iced tea, piña colada drinks, or tropical fruit cocktails.

Perfect for summer parties, BBQs, birthday gatherings, or whenever you need a cool, refreshing dessert!

⭐ Tips for the Best Pineapple Coconut Delight

• Drain the pineapple very well — excess juice is the #1 reason this dessert becomes runny.
• Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
• Chill long enough — patience = firm, beautiful layers.
• Make it in a clear glass dish to show off the tropical layers.
