Ingredients

For the crust:

2 1/2 cups graham crackers crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

For the filling:

4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple (very well drained)
1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping (thawed)

Instructions

For the crust:

Preheat the oven to 300°F.
Melt the butter and combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar, and salt. Stir until the graham crackers are coated in the butter.
Pour about 2 cups of the mixture into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish and firmly press flat to form the crust. I like to use the bottom of a metal measuring cup for this. Set the remaining crumb mixture aside to be used as the topping. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes. Cool completely.

For the filling:

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together. Add the powdered sugar and mix well. Add the drained pineapple and stir to combine. Fold in the whipped topping.
Once the crust has cooled, spread the pineapple mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the top with the remaining crumb mixture. Refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the filling to set. Store covered in the refrigerator.
