Start with two packs of cinnamon graham crackers and crush them in a Ziploc bag using a rolling pin.

Use a half pack of Biscoff cookies, crush them in a separate Ziploc bag using the same method.

Combine the crushed graham crackers and Biscoff cookies in a bowl.

Melt two sticks of salted butter and pour it into the cookie mixture, mixing until well combined.

Press the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish, ensuring it's even and packed tightly, leaving some for the topping.

Place the dish in the freezer for about 30 minutes to solidify.

Open a 20 oz can of crushed pineapples and strain the juice using a sifter or strainer, pressing to remove excess liquid.

In a bowl, combine 8 oz of cream cheese and 1 stick of salted butter, ensuring they are soft and well mixed.

Add 2 cups of powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth, adding about 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Fold in about 3/4 of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, reserving some for topping later.

Slice a 10 oz store-bought pound cake into 1/4 inch slices and layer them over the cookie crust in the baking dish.

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the pound cake layer evenly.

Top with the reserved whipped cream and sprinkle the remaining cookie mixture on top.
