CREAM FILLING
In a medium bowl cream well the softened butter and powdered sugar. Add the egg* and beat until smooth then add vanilla. Spread over the crumbs as evenly as possible.
In a medium bowl, whip the cream until thick peaks form, then fold in the well-drained pineapple (medium or large can depending on how much pineapple you prefer) and then spread over the cream filling. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of the cookie crumbs. Place the dessert in the freezer for at least 5 hours or better still over night. Let thaw before serving. Enjoy!
