2. Mix Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat together the prepared pudding and the softened cream cheese until well combined and smooth.

3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the non-dairy whipped topping until fully incorporated into the pudding and cream cheese mixture, creating a fluffy and creamy frosting.

4. Frost the Cake: Spread the frosting generously over the cooled cake of your choice, opting for a yellow cake for a classic flavor profile. This frosting is enough to frost the equivalent of a boxed cake mix.

5. Add Pineapple: Sprinkle the top of the frosted cake with crushed pineapple, evenly distributing it for a burst of tropical flavor in every bite.

6. Optional Toppings: For extra flair and texture, consider adding a sprinkle of shredded coconut and chopped nuts over the pineapple-topped frosting, adding both visual appeal and a delightful crunch.

7. Chill and Serve: Place the frosted cake in the refrigerator to chill before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together and the frosting to set. Serve chilled for the best taste experience.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, consider using coconut milk instead of regular milk when preparing the instant vanilla pudding.
• Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency in the frosting.
• Experiment with different cake flavors to find your favorite pairing with this versatile frosting—white or coconut cakes complement the tropical pineapple flavor beautifully.
• Customize the toppings to suit your taste preferences; in addition to coconut and nuts, consider adding maraschino cherries or fresh fruit slices for a decorative touch.
• Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, using it to elevate cupcakes, cookies, or even as a dip for fruit slices.

Indulge in the tropical goodness of this Pineapple Cream Cheese Frosting, perfect for adding a burst of flavor and a touch of sunshine to any dessert table! 🍍🎂
