Notes
- Drain pineapple thoroughly to avoid a runny, watery dessert that loses its signature fluffy texture.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother blending and easier mixing with other ingredients.

- Experiment with alternative mix-ins like toasted macadamia nuts or graham cracker crumbs for added crunch and flavor variation.
