Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese or light cream cheese
  • 20 ounces pineapple chunks (drained if in syrup)
  • 4 ounces whipped topping or 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
  • 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer or whisk
  • Trifle Cups or Small Glasses
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer.
  2. Gently fold in the whipped topping or the whipped heavy cream until well combined.
  3. Drain the pineapple chunks if they are in syrup.
  4. In your trifle cups or small glasses, add a layer of crushed vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of the cream cheese mixture, then a layer of pineapple chunks. Repeat until you reach the top.
  5. Finish each trifle with a dollop of whipped topping and a sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafers.
  6. Refrigerate the trifles for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for a lighter version.
  • Opt for fresh pineapple for a more vibrant flavor.
  • For a different texture, try using crushed graham crackers instead of vanilla wafers.
