Pineapple Delight
A layered dessert filled with sweet whipped cream and pineapple, all over a crunchy graham crust. This can easily be made dairy free…check out the Dairy Free Whipped Cream recipe below!
Save some dishes and mix the graham crumbs and melted butter right in the baking dish. Make sure all crumbs are moistened, then bake.
Use a mixer and beat together filling until smooth, then spread over cooled crust.
Place pineapple in a strainer and press out as much liquid as possible. Whip cream until stiff peaks form, then fold in pineapple. Spread over filling and top with reserved graham crumbs. Chill for at least 1 hour.

Notes
*If you are concerned that the eggs you are buying may contain Salmonella, then you should be buying only pasteurized eggs. It will say so on the label. These eggs have been treated to kill all bacteria, making them safe to eat (raw) in foods like cookie dough, smoothies, Caesar salad dressing, and in this delicious dessert!

What is icing sugar? Would it be 10x sugar? Where would I find it in a grocery store?
Icing sugar is also known as confectioner’s sugar or powdered sugar. It is the type of sugar that buttercream frosting is usually made from. It is found in the baking aisle of the grocery store, next to the regular granulated sugar.
Can the egg be left out of this. What is it’s purpose? I cannot wait to make this Pineapple Delight. Many thanks
The egg acts as a thickener by setting the butter and sugar together, yet keeping the mixture fluid enough to spread easily over the crust. As well as adds a rich flavor, and creamier texture to the filling. If you can eat eggs, I really wouldn’t subitute them out. This is one of my all time favorite desserts!!
