Categories     Cookies/Dessert

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 2/3 cups graham crumbs
1/3 cup melted butter
3 Tbsp sugar
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
5 to 6 cups icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup finely diced fresh golden pineapple, well draine
1 cup whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp icing sugar

Steps:

  • Measure the graham crumbs into a small bowl and make a small well in the centre.
  • Pour the sugar into the well, then pour the melted butter onto the sugar.
  • Let this stand for a couple of minutes to let the butter seep into the sugar. Then stir well to combine all ingredients together. The purpose of this step is to get a good contact between the butter and sugar.
  • Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking pan that has been lightly greased and lined with parchment paper. (For a thinner version with less frosting at the centre you can use a 9x13 inch pan and get 50% more squares too. See NOTE for adjustments below.)
  • Cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
  • Beat in the vanilla extract.
  • Slowly start adding the icing sugar a little at a time.
  • Beat until smooth and the consistency of the frosting is very stiff. Usually you would consider it too stiff to frost a cake at this stage.
  • Fold in the finely diced pineapple. The pineapple should be drained of all juice. I actually let mine sit in a colander lined with paper towels.
  • Spread evenly over the prepared base and chill for several hours or overnight.
  • Beat together the 3 ingredients until stiff peaks form. Spread evenly over the chilled pineapple frosting layer.
  • Store in the fridge until ready to cut and serve.
