Pineapple delight offers a creamy taste of the tropics. Making pineapple delight isn't difficult and it is definitely worth the effort because this recipe makes a pan of pure "delight"!

Step 1: Crust for Pineapple Delight

  • 2 cups crushed graham wafers
  • 1/2 cup (scant) melted butter

Mix thoroughly and keep out 1/2 cup for top of pineapple delight squares. Press mixture into a 9x12" pan. Bake 10 minutes at 300 degrees. Cool completely.

Step II: Pineapple Delight Icing Layer

  • 11/2-2 cups icing sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • vanilla to taste (1/2 tsp.)
  • enough milk or cream to make spreadable

Mix well and spread on crust.

Step III: Pineapple Delight Filling

  • 1 tin crushed pineapple (well drained)
  • 1/2 pint (or more) whipping cream

Whip cream until stiff. Fold in pineapple. Spread on second icing layer.

Step IV: Pineapple Delight Crumb Topping

Top pineapple delight with the reserved graham cracker crumbs. Cover and chill in fridge overnight so that pineapple delight sets and the flavors combine.

Slice pineapple delight into squares and enjoy!

Hi Jim,

As I make these recipes again, I'll be adding pictures. I agree, it's always nicer to see what something looks like.

Hi jim,

I first had this at a potluck and I liked it so much, I contacted the lady and asked for the recipe.

thank you for mouth watering chats. Pine apple tastes like apple and orange collectively. why do you add butter in your dish? Its taste is entirely different.

Hi Vizey,

The butter holds the crust together. The butter also blends with the icing sugar to make the icing layer. You don't taste it once your pineapple delight is made. I first tasted this at a potluck and thought it was wonderful.
