Instructions
Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Firmly press into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish using the bottom of a measuring cup.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Optional: Bake for 8 minutes at 325°F (163°C) for a firmer crust. Cool completely.
2. Drain the pineapple
Place the crushed pineapple in a fine mesh strainer for 15–20 minutes.
Press gently using the back of a spoon.
Pat dry with paper towels.
This prevents excess moisture.
3. Prepare the filling
Beat the softened cream cheese for about 3 minutes until smooth.
Add powdered sugar.
Mix again.
Add vanilla.
Fold in the drained pineapple.
Finally fold in the whipped topping using a silicone spatula.
Do not overmix.
4. Assemble
Spread half of the pineapple filling over the chilled crust.
Scatter blueberries evenly.
Drop spoonfuls of blueberry preserves.
Lightly swirl using a butter knife.
Cover with the remaining filling.
Smooth the top.
5. Decorate
Pipe whipped cream rosettes.
Top with blueberries.
Add pineapple tidbits.
Sprinkle toasted coconut.
Finish with white chocolate curls and mint.
6. Chill
Cover tightly.
Refrigerate at least 6 hours.
For perfect slices, chill overnight (8–12 hours).
Slice using a hot knife wiped clean after every cut.
