Pinapple Ice Box Cake

[Karen.Romanowski@snhmc.or]

Morning,

Does anyone have a recipe known as a Pineapple Ice Box cake? My mom made it years ago and I cannot find her recipe. It had crushed pineapple, whipped cream, graham cracker crumbs in a layer...

I would appreciate if anyone did have this...:

I have several - some calling for angel food cake or sponge cake - but this one is "close" - maybe you can tweak it -

1 1/2 cups gingersnap crumbs
1/2 cup butter, softened, divided
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple in heavy syrup,
drained (reserve 1/4 cup syrup)
3 ripe bananas (1/4-inch sliced)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Mix well gingersnap crumbs and 1/4 cup butter. Press into bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes; cool.

In a small bowl beat sugar, remaining 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup pineapple syrup until smooth. Spread on crumbs. Top with banana slices; sprinkle with pineapple.

Beat remaining 1/4 cup pineapple syrup with the cream cheese until smooth. Spread over pineapple; sprinkle with walnuts. Refrigerate 12 hours or overnight.

To serve, cut into rectangles

20 whole graham crackers
2 c. cold milk
1 pkg. (6 serving size) vanilla or chocolate instant pudding & pie filling
1 3/4 c. thawed Cool Whip
2 cans (21 oz.) cherry pie filling

Line 13 x 9 inch pan with some of the graham crackers, breaking crackers if necessary. Pour cold milk into bowl. Add pudding mix. Beat at low speed until well blended 1-2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Then blend in Cool Whip. Spread half the pudding mixture over crackers. Add another layer of crackers. Top with remaining pudding mixture and another layer of crackers. Spread pie filling over crackers. Chill 3 hours.
