No Bake Pineapple Cream Dessert

Introduction

The No Bake Pineapple Cream Dessert is an irresistible treat that brings together tropical sweetness and a cloud-like creamy finish—all without ever turning on your oven. This recipe is renowned for its simplicity and eye-catching presentation, making it the ultimate crowd-pleaser at summer parties, potlucks, or whenever you crave something refreshingly light yet satisfyingly indulgent.

Why This Pineapple Cream Dessert Is Unbeatable

With just a handful of staple ingredients, this dessert layers together tangy pineapple, a buttery graham cracker crust, and a whipped cheesecake-style topping. It’s easy to prepare in advance, feeds a group, and strikes the perfect balance between rich and refreshing. The combination of juicy pineapple with luscious cream makes every bite taste of sunshine.

Effortless Pineapple Prep for Maximum Freshness

Fresh pineapple makes all the difference here—its natural sweetness and slight acidity brighten the cream filling perfectly. To chop pineapple quickly and safely, a tool like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper makes it a breeze to dice uniform, juicy pieces and helps keep prep super fast and mess-free. If using canned pineapple, drain thoroughly to prevent excess moisture from making the crust soggy.

Building the Lush Cream Layers

The creamy filling uses a blend of softened cream cheese, crushed pineapple, and whipped cream. Achieving a perfectly smooth texture is simple with the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender—just blend until the mixture is light and homogenous. For folding in whipped topping, be gentle to keep everything fluffy and airy.

Transfer your cream layer over a simple graham cracker crust and smooth out with a spatula for a uniform finish.
