PINEAPPLE SQUARES - THE PERFECT POTLUCK DESSERT
The great cooks over at Mennonite Girls Can Cook posted this recipe a few days ago. Their original recipe was for a 9" x 13" pan (I made a pie). It was a little soft for a pie, so next time I'm definitely making the 9"x13", but man-o-man is it delicious!!! It is super simple to throw together and it keeps beautifully in the fridge for 3 or 4 days. If you have a potluck, family gathering, or company coming this weekend, I hope you give this recipe a try; it will be a big hit with everyone from the little guys to Grandpa!!
CRUST 2½ cups graham cracker crumbs (see note)½ cup melted butter(I added ¼ cup of white sugar)
Mix and press into a 9" x 13" baking dish and bake at 350F for 12 minutes then cool..PUDDING LAYER
1 box vanilla pudding2 cups milkCook per box directions and spread over cooled crustNOTE: I used a 3.4 ounce of instant pudding
.PINEAPPLE CREAM LAYER
1 large can of crushed pineapple drained well2 cups whipping cream1 teaspoon vanilla2 tablespoons white sugarWhip the cream, vanilla and sugar together until you get stiff peaks. Fold in the pineapple (I squeezed it dry with my hands) then spread the pineapple-cream over the pudding layer. Chill in the fridge for several hours before serving.
NOTE: The original recipe on the MGCC site, said to reserve ¼ cup of the graham cracker crumbs to sprinkle over the top of the pineapple cream layer (for decoration).
