Pineapple Delight Dessert

I love to make cakes but when I do I really prefer to make my own from scratch.  I'm just not crazy about cake  mixes unless I can jazz them up a little.  This dessert is a perfect example!  Who doesn't love a great icebox dessert?  They are my absolute favorite.   My mom gave me this recipe a few years ago and it so yummy!  It's so light and refreshing!  This dessert will be perfect for all of your spring and summer gatherings!!


Start by baking a yellow cake mix according to package directions.  Easy so far????


Then mix 1 cup milk (not pictured), 1 8 oz. package cream cheese (softened), and 1 pkg. vanilla pudding (3.4 oz. size).  I mixed with a spatula to incorporate all the ingredients and then finished it off with the hand mixer.  Mix until well blended!


Spread mixture over COOLED cake!



Drain pineapple well!  Pour crushed pineapple over cream cheese/pudding mixture.  Refrigerate for several hours before serving!

Serve with whipped topping!  Delicious!
