How to Make Pineapple Icebox Dessert

Crush pineapple slices using a rolling pin or place in a food processor until finely crushed.
In a medium bowl, combine crushed pineapple, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, beating until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
In a trifle bowl or individual serving glasses, layer the pineapple mixture and the cream cheese mixture, starting with the pineapple.
Repeat layers until the bowl is full, ending with a layer of cream cheese mixture.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Before serving, garnish with fresh pineapple chunks or a sprinkle of shredded coconut (optional).
