Ingredients for Easy Pineapple Fluff Recipe
Graham Cracker Crust
- 2 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Pineapple Fluff Salad Layers
- 20 oz can crushed pineapple, drain juice well
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz tub Cool Whip or 1 cup of whipping cream whipped together to make 2 cups of whipped topping
toppings
- ¼ cup graham cracker mixture from above for sprinkling
- Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions for Pineapple Fluff Dessert
Graham Cracker Crust
- Prepare your graham cracker crust by combining the graham cracker crumbs and cooled, melted butter in a medium sized bowl and mix well.
- Measure out ¼ cup of the graham cracker crumbs for the top, set aside. Firmly press the remaining of the graham cracker crumb mixture into an 8-inch square pan and place in refrigerator or freezer to chill while you prepare the Pineapple Fluff Layers.
1st Layer
- Using a mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter together in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
- On low speed, add the powdered sugar one cup at a time until fully combined.
- Once it’s all combined, mix on medium-high for another minute.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of the drained pineapple and spoon and spread the pineapple/cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust evenly.
2nd Layer
- Fold in the remaining pineapple into the whipped cream and spoon and spread on top of the cream cheese layer.
Toppings
- Sprinkle the ¼ reserved cup of graham cracker crumb mixture on top of the whipped cream layer and if you want to add some chopped nuts, you can also sprinkle those on top as well.
- Refrigerate & chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Storing Pineapple Fluff
- Pineapple fluff tastes best when you eat it immediately. However, you can keep leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two days.
More Variations
- I love the graham cracker crust, but you could also use crushed pretzels, melted butter and add a tablespoon of sugar or brown sugar to give it a sweet and salty vibe, like this Strawberry Pretzel Layered Dessert, this Reese’s Peanut Butter Pretzel Pie and this Heavenly Strawberry Pretzel Dessert!
- For additional toppings, add some additional whipped cream swirls with some maraschino cherries or add some mini marshmallows or shredded coconut to your cream cheese filling for some yummy tropical flavors and texture!
This Easy no bake crushed Pineapple Fluff Dessert recipe is so handy for potlucks, family gatherings, or after Sunday lunch, dinner or that late evening snack. Simple, yet quick and easy to throw together in a pinch! Enjoy!

Hi Kathy, no, you could just add more graham crackers to replace the nuts if you want? Enjoy!!
Would it change it too much if I didn’t use the nuts?
