Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Make the crust: Combine crushed pretzels, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Bake crust for 10 minutes, then let cool completely.
Prepare the cream cheese layer: Beat softened cream cheese with 1 cup sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.
Spread cream mixture over the cooled crust, making sure to seal the edges completely to prevent pineapple from seeping through.
Top with pineapple: Evenly spoon the drained crushed pineapple over the cream cheese layer.
Chill the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Make sure pineapple is well-drained to prevent the crust from getting soggy.
You can use low-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping for a lighter version.
Garnish with extra pretzel crumbs or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for flair.
