Notes

  • If using fresh whipped cream instead of Cool Whip, consume leftovers within 2 days, as the whipped cream may become watery over time.
  • Customize with your favorite fruits, nuts, or toppings! For a nut-free option, substitute coconut flakes or mini chocolate chips.
  • Ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to avoid a soggy dessert.
