Mixing bowls
Electric mixer or whisk
Spatula
Square or rectangular mold
Measuring cups and spoons
Baking sheet (for chilling the base)
- 1 can pineapple in pieces in its juice
- 1 cup Maria type cookies, crushed
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 can condensed milk (395g)
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- q.s. pineapple slices to decorate (optional)
Crush Maria cookies and mix with melted butter until crumbly, then press into the bottom of a mold and refrigerate to set.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, condensed milk, and vanilla extract until smooth, then add pineapple pieces.
In another bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
Pour the mixture over the cookie base, smooth the top, and chill for at least 2 hours until set.
Before serving, garnish with pineapple slices if desired, slice, and enjoy.
For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and condensed milk for vegan alternatives. To enhance the flavor, consider sautéing pineapple slices in butter and sugar before using them as a topping.
