Pineapple cream cheese icing is a versatile frosting that can be used to top cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is made with a combination of cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract. The resulting frosting is smooth, creamy, and flavorful, with a slight tang from the cream cheese and a sweetness from the pineapple. It is a perfect choice for those who enjoy a frosting that is not too sweet.

Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple: The fresher the pineapple, the better the flavor of the icing will be.
- Drain the pineapple well: Make sure to drain the pineapple thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the icing.
- Use high-quality cream cheese: The quality of the cream cheese will directly impact the taste of the icing. Use a full-fat cream cheese for the best results.
- Soften the cream cheese and butter: Make sure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature before mixing them. This will help them to blend together smoothly.
- Mix the icing slowly: Mix the icing on low speed until it is well combined. Overmixing can cause the icing to become too thick and difficult to spread.
- Chill the icing before using: Refrigerate the icing for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will help it to firm up and make it easier to spread.
- Flavor variations: Feel free to experiment with different flavor variations of the icing. You could add a teaspoon of vanilla extract, almond extract, or lemon zest for a different flavor profile.
