Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1 cup coconut cream
- ½ cup condensed milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
- Crushed graham crackers or cookies (for layering)

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Creamy Mixture
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, coconut cream, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined. The mixture should be light, creamy, and fragrant.
Step 2: Assemble the Layers
- In serving glasses, bowls, or a large dish, create a base layer of crushed graham crackers or cookies. This adds a nice crunch to contrast the creamy filling.
- Spoon the pineapple-coconut mixture on top of the graham cracker layer, spreading it evenly.
Step 3: Chill the Dessert

Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches
- Just before serving, top the dessert with fresh mango or banana slices for a pop of color and sweetness.
- Sprinkle shredded coconut over the top for added texture and a tropical flair.
Pro Tips
- Make It Ahead: This dessert can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Add the fresh fruit topping just before serving to keep it vibrant.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use full-fat canned coconut milk instead of coconut cream and dairy-free condensed milk for a vegan-friendly version.
- Layer Variations: Add additional layers, such as diced fresh pineapple or a drizzle of caramel sauce, for extra indulgence.
- Serving Options: Serve in individual parfait glasses for a fancy presentation, or layer everything in a trifle dish for a crowd-pleasing centerpiece.
