- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can 20 ounces crushed pineapple, drained

- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream into the pineapple and cream cheese mixture in batches until the filling is fully blended and creamy.
- Spread the pineapple cream mixture over the chilled graham cracker crust using a spatula to even out the top.
- Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set fully.
- Once set, slice into squares and serve chilled. Garnish with additional pineapple pieces or mint leaves if desired.
