Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish to form a crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and powdered sugar. Mix well until combined.
- Add the drained crushed pineapple and pineapple extract to the cream cheese mixture. Fold in one container of Cool Whip until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the creamy pineapple filling evenly over the crust in your prepared dish.
- Top the filling with the remaining Cool Whip, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface. Sprinkle the toasted coconut and arrange the pineapple chunks on top. If desired, add a few drops of yellow gel food coloring for a festive look.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
