Pina Colada Lush Dessert

Inside of the pan of lush dessert with pieces cut out so you can see the layers.

Ingredients Needed
Golden Oreo Cookie Crust
Golden Oreos
Melted Butter
No Bake Pineapple Cheesecake Layer
Cream Cheese : Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the cheesecake batter.
Powdered Sugar
Crushed Pineapple : Drain the juice really well and make sure to reserve 1 tablespoon of the pineapple juice to add in with the crushed pineapple. Use a colander to drain the pineapple juices.
Cool Whip
Coconut Vanilla Pudding
Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
Half and Half : It’s important to use a higher fat milk, like half and half, to help thicken the pudding layer in the dessert. Heavy cream also works really well and possibly whole milk. I would not use anything lower in fat than whole milk.
Coconut Extract
Sweetened Coconut Flakes : I like to run these through a food processor to get them into smaller crumbs. My family doesn’t love the longer stringy texture of coconut.
Toppings & Garnishes
Cool Whip
Toasted Coconut : Optional garnish if wanted.
Maraschino Cherries : Optional garnish if wanted.
