1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup crushed biscuits or graham crackers (optional, for layering)

Method of Preparation
- Prepare the pineapple:
Drain the crushed pineapple very well to remove excess juice. This step is important to keep the dessert creamy, not watery. - Whip the cream:
In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside. - Make the creamy base:
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. - Combine:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined and fluffy. - Add pineapple:
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple carefully, keeping the mixture light and airy. - Assemble:
Spoon the dessert into serving glasses or a single serving dish. If desired, add a layer of crushed biscuits at the bottom or between layers for extra texture. - Chill:
Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend perfectly. - Garnish & serve:
Decorate with pineapple pieces, cherries, or a sprinkle of biscuit crumbs before serving.
