Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh pineapple, diced

1 cup coconut cream (chilled)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (for layering)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple:

    - In a blender, combine the diced pineapple, 1 tablespoon of honey/maple syrup, and fresh lime juice. Blend until smooth. If you prefer some texture, leave a few small chunks of pineapple.

      Make the Vanilla Cream:

        - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chilled coconut cream, Greek yogurt, remaining honey/maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.

          Layer the Mixture:

            - Line a rectangular or square baking dish (about 8x8 inches) with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

              - Start by spreading half of the vanilla cream mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish.

                - Next, gently pour the pineapple puree over the vanilla layer, spreading it out evenly to cover the surface.

                  - Finally, spoon the remaining vanilla cream on top of the pineapple layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.

                    Add the Crunch:

                      - Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers uniformly over the top layer of vanilla cream, pressing them down lightly to ensure they adhere.

                        Freeze:

                          - Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set.

                            Slice and Serve:

                              - Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes before slicing for easier cutting. Use the parchment overhang to lift the entire dessert out of the dish.

                                - Cut into slices or bars and serve immediately. Garnish each slice with a fresh mint leaf for a refreshing touch.
