Ingredients

• 1 whole (medium-sized) fresh pineapple
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 sheets (crushed into crumbs) graham crackers
• 2 tablespoons (melted) unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons (optional) shredded coconut
• 4 leaves (optional, for garnish) mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

Peel the pineapple and remove the core. Cut it into small cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, toss the pineapple cubes with granulated sugar and let them macerate for 10 minutes to release their natural juices.

Step 3

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Step 4

Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate the whipped cream while preparing the other elements.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 6

To assemble the dessert, layer the components in individual serving glasses: start with a layer of graham cracker crumbs, followed by a scoop of sugared pineapple, and a dollop of whipped cream. Repeat the layers if desired, ending with whipped cream on top.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle shredded coconut on the top layer and garnish with a mint leaf for a touch of elegance.

Step 8

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled dessert experience.
