Ingredients
Crust
- 1¾ cups vanilla wafers crumbs
- 5 tbsp salted butter melted
Filling
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 ounce (½ package) cream cheese softened
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
Topping
- 8 ounce container whipped topping
- 20 ounce can crushed pineapple drained
- ¼ cup vanilla wafer crumbs
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ¾ cups of divided vanilla wafer crumbs and the melted butter. Mix until completely combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking pan. Press as firmly as possible using the bottom of a measuring cup or similar tool.
- Set the pan with the vanilla wafer crust in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes.
- While the crust is chilling, use a mixer to beat together the salted butter and powdered sugar until very creamy, about 1-3 minutes.
- Beat in the cream cheese and vanilla extract until completely combined, about 1-3 more minutes.
- Fold in the plain Greek yogurt.
- Pour the filling mixture into the baking pan over the crust. Use a spatula to spread the filling and make an even layer.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the whipped topping and crushed pineapple. Stir until evenly mixed and then spread on top of the filling.
- Sprinkle the ¼ cup of vanilla wafer crumbs on top of the pineapple layer and then refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until the dessert has set. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage:
Pineapple Delight must be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If you wrap it well with plastic wrap or place it in freezer safe containers, you can keep it in the freezer for 5-6 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
Tips:
- I recommend making this dessert a day ahead of time and refrigerating it overnight. This will allow it to thicken and makes it easier to cut into slices.
- To make Vanilla Wafers crumbs, place a handful of cookies in a heavy-duty plastic bag. Using a rolling pin, roll over the cookies to crush them. You can also use a food processor.
