Pineapple Cream Dessert

Whenever it’s the Italian’s birthday his choice of dessert is either this one or any kind of Tiramisu!

This was one of my Mom’s amazing recipes. Anytime she asked what dessert we would like her to make for family gatherings or just because. This is the one dessert that came up time and time again.

This easy no-bake dessert is perfect anytime especially during the hot summer months when turning on the oven is not great idea.

How to make Pineapple Cream Dessert

Combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter, press down firmly in a square pan. Place in fridge and continue with the filling.

In a medium bowl cream softened butter and powdered sugar, cream well, add the egg and beat until smooth then add vanilla. Spread over the crumbs.

In a medium bowl, whip the cream until thick peaks form, then fold in the well-drained pineapple, spread over the cream filling.

Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of crumbs. Place in freezer for at least 5 hours or over night. Let thaw before serving.

What to substitute for raw eggs

For the replacement of raw eggs, you can try using a product called Egg Replacer or there are now pasteurized egg products and pasteurized eggs available.

I usually make it the night before and let it sit all night in the freezer. I take it out of the freezer an hour or so before serving to let it thaw and become all nice and creamy. Nothing easier than that.

How to store the Pineapple Cream Dessert

Also know as Pineapple Delight this dessert should be stored covered with plastic wrap in the fridge, it will keep for up to 4-5 days in the fridge. It can also be frozen, wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer safe bag or container. It will keep for up to 6 months. Let it thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

What is the best base to use?

I like to use digestive cookies crumbs, although my Mom always used graham cracker crumbs. You can always use your favourite cookies and just grind them to make crumbs.

So next time you are looking for a delicious and east No Bake Summer or anytime fruity dessert this Pineapple Cream Dessert could be a perfect choice. The perfect Easy Summer Dessert Recipe. Enjoy!
