Instructions
Making Pina Colada Lush involves layering ingredients for a beautiful presentation. Follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form an even crust.
2. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
3. Add Pineapple: Fold the drained crushed pineapple into the cream cheese mixture, combining thoroughly.
4. Add Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping until well blended with the cream cheese and pineapple mixture.
5. Layer the Mixtures: Spread the cream cheese layer evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing it out to create a uniform layer.
6. Prepare the Coconut Layer: In a separate bowl, combine coconut cream, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
7. Continue Layering: Spread the coconut mixture over the cream cheese layer, evening it out for an attractive presentation.
8. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly.
9. Serve: Once chilled, slice into squares and garnish each piece with a fresh pineapple slice if desired.
