I could eat half this tray myself. The lightness of the cool whip layered on top of a rich creamy white chocolate cream cheese filling with a crushed cookie crust. It will blow your socks off how easy and tasty this is. I know what I'll be bringing to my next potluck.

Big pineapple fan here. Talking to the guy who drank more virgin Pina Coladas before 21 than anyone else in his family. It just tastes refreshingly like summer. Citrusy, juicy heaven. We don't want to take away from the pineapple flavor here, so we keepin’ it vanilla. This recipe reminds me of my grandma's Hawaiian salad with how light and airy these bars taste. Cool whip makes the work easy.

I love this cream cheese frosting recipe. Whipped softened cream cheese and butter, blended with creamy white chocolate makes this frosting much smoother than other recipes. White chocolate adds smoothness, flavor, and sweetness to this recipe. We love a double-duty ingredient. The sweetness from the white chocolate helps to balance the mild pineapple whipped topping. Are you thinking about sugar balance in your desserts? It’s not only better for our bellies, but it helps make dessert taste more exciting. A dash of salt in the whipped cream or a tangy hint of lemon in icing makes so much of a difference in the final result.

Using Nilla wafers in this recipe was a must for me. Graham cracker crumbs are great for cheesecake and smores bars, but this pineapple dessert deserves a little something special. This cookie layer adds sweet and salty elements to the dessert. We’re highlighting the pineapple here, so again keeping it vanilla. Nothing wrong with keepin’ it vanilla sometimes. This recipe comes together so fast, that your head’s going to be spinning with new combinations.
