Ingredients

For the crust

  • 2 cups crushed pretzels
  • 1 cup butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

For the topping

  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature

  • 40 ounces canned crushed pineapple well drained
  • 3.4 ounce package instant vanilla pudding

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Stir together the pretzels, melted butter, and sugar in a small bowl until well combined.
  • Press pretzels into a 9x13 baking dish to form a crust on the bottom of the pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Add the cream cheese, whipped topping, sugar, and vanilla pudding (dry mix only - do not prepare pudding) to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Fold in the pineapple.
  • Spread the pineapple mixture over the cooled crust and place in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

This recipe would likely work well with fresh pineapple, so long as you crush it first so that it's a similar texture to the canned pineapple.
