Super delicious classic recipe, made with graham crackers, pineapples and cream cheese. This dessert is a summer delight for all.

This dessert is topped with shredded coconuts and then refrigerated. Cream cheese and butter in the crust make this dessert super creamy. When it’s done, what you have is a creamy, cool, delicious recipe. I now understand why this was one of my grandma’s favorite recipes, and typically, it has become a favorite of mine, my kids and my husband too!

Really this recipe should be everyone’s favorite! I can’t think of a better way to cool off in the summer heat than with a cup of this in my hands. Even if it’s not summer, there’s absolutely o wrong time for this.

Tips:

Make sure to use butter and not margarine. Salted or unsalted butter is fine.

Rather than Cool Whip, you could use homemade whipped cream. It won’t hold up like Cool Whip does though.
