Follow these simple steps to create your delightful Pina Colada Lush:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, coconut flakes, and melted butter. Stir until fully combined.
2. Press the Crust: Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form an even layer.
3. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined.
4. Add Whipped Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently.
5. Layer the Mixture: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
6. Add Pineapple: Gently spread the crushed pineapple over the cream cheese layer.
7. Finish with Whipped Cream: Top with additional whipped cream, smoothing it out evenly.
8. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the layers to set.
9. Garnish (optional): Before serving, sprinkle additional coconut flakes and fresh pineapple chunks on top for a tropical touch.
