Note
Ensure the cake is completely cool before adding toppings to prevent the cream cheese layer from melting or sliding off.
Draining the pineapple thoroughly is crucial to prevent the dessert from becoming soggy.
This dessert can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Cover tightly with plastic wrap before chilling.
For a nut-free version, use toasted coconut flakes or omit the topping entirely for a lighter finish.
If using a 12-ounce box of pudding mix, you may need to adjust the milk quantity slightly depending on the specific brand's instructions for instant pudding.
