Instructions

Step 1

To make sure the pineapple is well drained, first place it in a strainer set over a bowl. Let the juice drain away for at least 20 minutes, up to several hours.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl mix together the finely crushed pretzels with the melted butter. Stir to combine and press firmly in the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature then chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set.

Step 4

In a large bowl beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until well combined. Spread evenly over the pretzel crust.

Step 5

In the same bowl combine the well-drained pineapple and ½ - 1 box (depending on desired sweetness) instant pudding mix. Spread evenly over the cream cheese layer.

Step 6

Chill until ready to serve, at least 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.
