Pineapple Cream Dessert: perfect for summer
Looks like pineapple is just a screamer of summer! Well, I know it's available year-round, but its tropical origins put it squarely in the summer category—at least for me.
Another reason it's the perfect summertime dessert is that it's not baked at all!
If you like cheesecake...
Then you will love this dessert!
The filling is a creamy pineapple-flavored cheesecake stacked on top of a buttered graham cracker crust. It is absolutely delicious.
Keep in mind that a cheesecake layer can also be used as a sweet dip. Of course it goes well with graham crackers, but it's also good with vanilla or chocolate chips.
