Julie! I made this today and it was so delicious!!! Thanks for sharing these recipes with us. I’m planning to make the chocolate pie for memorial day.
We’re still enjoying this dessert – the crumb base and top crumbs all stay nicely crisp when leftovers are stored in fridge, covered with plastic wrap. When I make this again, I might experiment with making it more like a “bar” with thinner layers – the same amount of pineapple but half the cream cheese filling and also half the Cool Whip.
A good-looking layered dessert. If you’re like me and store the Cool Whip in the freezer, take that out the night before to thaw in the fridge, and get your butter & cream cheese out to countertop at least an hour before you want to make this. My total prep time (including getting out ingredients and equipment thru placing items in dishwasher) was almost an hour. Melting the butter, crushing the crackers, draining the pineapple were all longer prep steps — I doubt that even with practice I’ll ever get this made in 10 minutes.
