Ingredients
  

1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup shredded coconut

1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (plus extra for topping)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Whipped cream (for serving)

Pineapple slices (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and both extracts (vanilla and almond). Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

    Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip it; it should be light and airy.

      Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pineapple mixture. Use a spatula to carefully incorporate the whipped cream, ensuring you maintain the lightness.

        Add Coconut and Crackers: Fold in the shredded coconut, crushed graham crackers, and walnuts if using. This will add texture and richness to the dessert.

          Chill the Mixture: Transfer the mixture to a 9x9-inch baking dish or a trifle dish. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

            Serve: Once set, cut into squares if using a baking dish, or scoop into bowls if using a trifle dish. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle extra crushed graham crackers on top. Garnish with a slice of pineapple on the side.
