Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using low-fat cream cheese instead of some of the oleo in the filling. If you don't have graham crackers, crushed vanilla wafers or Oreo cookies can work well for the crust. Make sure to drain the pineapple thoroughly to avoid a soggy cake. If you want to add texture, mix in some chopped nuts into the filling.
