Ingredients Needed For Our Fluffy Cream Cheese Dessert:
- Crushed vanilla wafers
- Unsalted butter
- Powdered sugar
- Cream cheese
- Cool Whip
- Crushed pineapple, drained
- Fresh berries (pick your favorite), optional topping
How To Make Our Fluffy Cream Cheese Dessert:
Begin by making the crust for this recipe.
Melt the butter in the microwave in a medium microwave safe bowl.
After the butter has melted, let it cool for a few minutes.
Then, add in the vanilla wafer cookie crumbs to the melted butter and toss it together until the crumbs are well incorporated into the butter.
Take 2 cups of the crumb mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of a 9×9 square pan.
PRO TIP: Put the crumbs in the fridge to let the butter set up and help the crumb crust solidify.
Next, begin the cream cheese layer by beating together the cream cheese and butter together with a stand mixture until they are well incorporated.
Then, turn the mixer down to a low speed and add in the pwodered sugar, one cup at a time until all of the powdered sugar is mixed together.
Now, scrape down the sides of the bowl and add in the drained crushed pineapple and cool whip and stir it carefully together with a rubber spatula.
Once everything is incorporated, spread the pineapple and cream cheese mixture over top of the cooled crust and spread it out evenly.
Then, sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs on top of the cream cheese layer.
Now, just place the pan in the refrigerator and let it cool for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight if possible.
When you go to serve the fluffy cream cheese dessert, top it with your favorite berries, and enjoy!

Can I Replace Cool Whip With Whipped Cream?
We would not suggest replacing cool whip with whipped cream. Cool whip has a stability to it that whipped cream does not. Cool whip stays full and fluffy, while whipped cream is airred and will release the air quickly, making the whipped cream drop and become runny.
If you do NEED to replace the cool whip with something else, this Homemade Whipped Cream recipe from Love, Life, and Sugar. It is a more stable whipped cream that can be a suitable cool whip replacement when necessary.
