My husband and I are still huge fans of Hawaii. Sure everything was great, but our favorite reason to love it was because of the absolutely amazing dishes they served. Everything from a macadamia crusted filet mignon to pineapple desserts was positively amazing. I knew I had to get home and try it so I did and from there came this amazing pineapple delight. It is such a light and refreshing dessert, especially if you love pinapple as much as I do! It is simple, full of flavor and everyone will be so happy to try this!
Check out what our friends over at Sugar Apron had to say about this:
“Cool, refreshing, just perfect for a hot summer’s day, or if by chance there are any leftovers it’s even better the next day. If you aren’t a big fan of pineapple for some odd reason then you can substitute an equal amount of crushed strawberries (and I am certain other fruit would work too).”
So much goodness in one dessert to refresh you on a hot day! And you can make variations, too!
Ingredients
Crust
3 cups Keebler graham cracker crumbs
3/4 cup Land O’ Lakes butter, melted
Filling
3/4 cup Land O’ Lakes butter, softened
2 1/4 cups powdered sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Pineapple Layer
2 can of crushed Dole pineapple, drained (about 1 cup)
Whipped Cream Topping
1 1/2 cup Land O’ Lakes whipping cream
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 13 X 9 pan lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and butter until well combined and crumbly. Press into prepared pan.
Bake for 10 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.
In a separate bowl, mix together butter, icing sugar, eggs, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth.
Drop by spoonfuls over crust (once it has completely cooled), and gently smooth to form an even layer.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
Beat the whipping cream, icing sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl until it is thick and stiff.
Drain the juice from the canned crushed pineapple.
Mix the whipped cream and pineapple together and spread evenly over top of the cooled butter filling.
If you want to make it a little fancier, garnish the dessert with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
Cover and chill until ready to serve, at least 2 hours.
