Form the Crust:

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your chosen pan, creating a smooth, even layer. Set aside.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese with the confectioner’s sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add Whipped Topping:

Gradually blend in the whipped topping until thoroughly combined and smooth.

Fold in Pineapple:

Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

3. Assemble:
