Hawaiian Dessert

from Renee

Note: It makes 2- 13x9 pans so you can cut the ingredients in half if you only want to make one pan. Or use half of everything else and just use the extra cake mix for cupcakes!!!

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
3 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla
pudding mix
4 cups cold milk
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, well
drained
2 cups heavy cream, whipped and
sweetened
2 cups flaked coconut, toasted

Directions:
Mix cake batter according to package directions. Pour into two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pans. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until the cakes test done. Cool completely. In a large mixing bowl, combine pudding mixes and milk; beat for 2 minutes. Add the cream cheese and beat well. Stir in pineapple. Spread over the cooled cakes. Top with whipped cream; sprinkle with coconut. Chill for at least 2 hours.
