## **How to Make It**
### 1. **Make the Crust**
In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar (if using) until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch (or similar size) pan to form an even layer. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
### 2. **Prepare the Creamy Filling**
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple and whipped topping until everything is evenly combined.
### 3. **Assemble the Delight**
Spread the pineapple filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Add any optional toppings like coconut, chopped nuts, or a few extra pineapple pieces.
### 4. **Chill to Set**
Cover and refrigerate the dessert for at least 2–3 hours (or overnight) to firm up and let the flavors meld.
### 5. **Serve and Enjoy**
Cut into squares and serve cold. Each bite is creamy, fruity, and irresistibly good!
