Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1 cup of icing sugar. Mix well until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan, reserving a bit of the mixture to sprinkle on top later.
-
Drain Pineapple: Open the can of crushed pineapple and drain well, ensuring to remove excess liquid to prevent a soggy dessert.
-
Prepare Jello Mixture: In a saucepan, heat the reserved pineapple juice and add enough hot water to make a total of 1 cup of liquid. Pour this hot liquid over the Jello gelatin in a bowl, stirring until fully dissolved. Add the white sugar and stir well, allowing it to cool.
-
Whip the Milk: In a separate bowl, whip the chilled Carnation instant milk until it thickens and forms soft peaks.
-
Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the cooled Jello mixture into the whipped milk, mixing until fully combined. Carefully add the drained crushed pineapple, stirring to incorporate.
-
Assemble the Dessert: Pour the Jello and whipped milk mixture over the graham cracker crust in the pan. Spread it evenly, then sprinkle the reserved graham cracker mixture on top for a crunchy finish.
-
Chill: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the dessert to set fully.
