For the most vibrant colors, use high-quality gelatin mixes.
To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, you can lightly pre-bake it at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes before adding the filling.
If you don't have brown sugar, you can use granulated sugar for the crust, but the brown sugar adds a nice depth of flavor.
Be gentle when folding the gelatin cubes into the whipped cream to avoid breaking them up too much.
For a dairy-free version, you can use coconut whipped cream, but be aware that it may alter the flavor slightly.
Make sure the pineapple gelatin is properly cooled. If it is not cooled properly, it may cause the whipped cream to melt, and create a watery cake.

    The crust was a little too crumbly for my liking. Next time, I'll add a bit more melted butter.

    I substituted the strawberry gelatin with raspberry, and it was amazing! The possibilities are endless.
