Save the rest for later. In a large dish beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate large dish beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until creamy. Stir in pineapple. Fold in the whipped cream. Spread over the graham cracker layer and top with the remaining graham cracker mixture.

Cut sugar in cream cheese mixture to one cup and cut butter in half. Graham’s need to be lot less too. Then it is great!
It really is dream dessert, Joyce.
Best,

What is a stick of butter in cup measurements (1/2 cup?) and can I use margarine instead?
Hi Jenni,
1 stick butter = ½ cup = 4 ounces = 113 grams.
You can use margarine with graham crackers crumbs but I am not sure about filling..
Best,
Dragana
