No-Bake Pineapple Dream Bars
by Jessie Daye
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham crumbs 2 sleeves crushed
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
Method
- Prepare an 8”x8” or 9”x9” pan with parchment paper that overhangs the sides a bit so you can easily lift the bars when ready. ** If making no-bake see next step! If you want a crisper crust, preheat oven to 325 F.
- Melt butter in the microwave and combine with graham cracker crumbs. Mix well and press 1 1/2 cups of the crumb mixture firmly into prepared pan. Now you can either freeze for 30 minutes (no-bake) or bake for 8-10 minutes for a firmer crust. Allow to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar on low until fully incorporated. Turn to medium-high and beat until completely smooth. Fold in 1/4 cup of drained pineapple (reserving the rest for the whipped topping layer). Spread the cream cheese and pineapple mixture over the crust.
- Fold the remaining pineapple into the Cool Whip and spread on top of the cream cheese layer. Sprinkle remaining graham cracker crumb mixture on top and freeze for 3 hours or refrigerate overnight. Enjoy!
