Use Fresh Pineapple for an Extra Burst of Flavor! – Instead of canned pineapple, try using fresh crushed pineapple for an even juicier taste.
Toast the Coconut! – Toasted coconut adds a rich, nutty flavor that makes a huge difference in taste.
Want a No-Bake Crust? – Skip the oven and let the graham cracker crust set in the fridge for an hour instead.
For a Lighter Version: – Use reduced-fat cream cheese and whipped topping to make it less heavy.
