PREPARATION:
8 oz can of crushed pineapple (drained)
8 oz package of cream cheese (softened)
½ cup butter (softened)
Chopped pecans or walnuts for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Base:
Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
Cream the Butter and Cheese:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
Add the Pineapple:
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Assemble the Cake:
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the prepared cake base (you can use a store-bought vanilla cake or a homemade sponge cake). Make sure it’s an even layer.
Garnish with Nuts:
Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts generously over the top of the cake for a nice crunch and garnish.
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the cake for 2-3 hours or until the topping sets. Slice and serve chilled.
