Instructions
Put the 8 oz softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the 3.4 oz dry instant vanilla pudding mix to the bowl. Beat on low to combine until no dry powder remains.
Add the entire 20 oz crushed pineapple, including the juice, to the bowl. Beat on low just until evenly mixed and the mixture is smooth.
Gently fold in the 4 oz thawed whipped topping with a rubber spatula until the dip is light and uniform in color (do not overmix).
Cover the bowl (or transfer to a serving container and cover) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm and let the flavors meld.
Before serving, stir briefly if any liquid has separated. Serve chilled with graham crackers, Nilla wafers, or vanilla wafer sticks for dipping.

Notes
Don’t drain the pineapple, the juice helps mix with the pudding to create a smooth, creamy texture.
Chill for a full hour to help the dip thicken.
