Ingredients

For the crust
  • 2 cups crushed pretzels
  • 1 cup butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
For the topping
  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 8 ounces frozen whipped topping thawed
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 40 ounces canned crushed pineapple well drained
  • 3.4 ounce package instant vanilla pudding

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Stir together the pretzels, melted butter, and sugar in a small bowl until well combined.
  3. Press pretzels into a 9x13 baking dish to form a crust on the bottom of the pan.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  5. Add the cream cheese, whipped topping, sugar, and vanilla pudding (dry mix only - do not prepare pudding) to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Fold in the pineapple.
  6. Spread the pineapple mixture over the cooled crust and place in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • This recipe would likely work well with fresh pineapple, so long as you crush it first so that it's a similar texture to the canned pineapple.
