Ingredients:

Ingredients Quantity
Ritz Crackers 6
Egg Whites 2
Sugar 1 cup
Baking Powder 2 tsp
Vanilla Extract 1 1/2 tsp
Pecans 2 cups
Cream Cheese 2 packages
Crushed Pineapple 1 can
Dream Whip (prepared) 2 cups

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crust:

    • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
    • Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat the egg whites.
    • Mix in the baking powder, vanilla extract, and crushed pecans until well combined.
  2. Bake the Crust:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Press the prepared crust mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan, ensuring an even layer.
    • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
  3. Prepare the Filling:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the prepared dream whip, cream cheese, and crushed pineapple until smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble the Dessert:

    • Once the crust has cooled, spread the prepared pineapple and cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust, covering it completely.
  5. Chill and Serve:

    • Place the assembled dessert in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour or until set.
    • Once chilled, slice into squares or rectangles and serve chilled.

Tips:

  • For a twist, you can add shredded coconut to the crust mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
  • If you prefer a nut-free version, you can omit the pecans or substitute them with crushed graham crackers or rolled oats.
  • Ensure that the cream cheese is softened at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients to achieve a smooth and creamy filling.
  • Garnish the chilled dessert with fresh pineapple slices or maraschino cherries before serving for a decorative touch.
