Hmmmm...Graham crackers and pineapple isn't something I'd imagine would go together but this recipe sounds so dreamy it has to be good. I would think with using the crushed pineapple juices and all it would too runny but it looks like it holds up pretty good and almost like a cheesecake texture. Yum! I wonder how it would turn out if a different fruit was used instead of the pineapple...I bet lime would go great with the coconut!

Pineapple and coconut make a wonderful Spring/Summer dessert. It's great that it's made in a small 8" x 8" pan. Most dessert bars/cakes are made in 13" x 9" pans which make a lot for a small family. I like graham cracker crusts but have never made one from scratch. I could probably buy a graham cracker pie crust and just make the filling.

This looks like a great, light, summer recipe! I love coconut and pineapple together. With the graham cracker crust is seems almost like a cheese cake but on the lighter side. I love recipes with graham cracker crumbs but I usually have to find a substitute if they contain high fructose corn syrup. Does anyone have a brand they like to use that omits that ingredient?
