Instructions
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until sandy. Press a layer into the bottom of serving glasses or jars.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add coconut cream, pineapple juice, sugar, vanilla, lime zest, and lime juice. Mix until silky. Fold in whipped cream gently to keep it airy.
