Making refreshing summer desserts is always best for the hot summer months. Cakes and pies are great but we really enjoy super cold desserts to keep cooled off especially when we bbq. Our Lemon Lush is a perfect cool dessert but hubby was requesting a pineapple filled dessert. I was “delighted” to whip up something new for him to try after our grill out.

Pineapple is always refreshing and when you combine it with whipped cream, all I can say is “oh my”.  This dessert includes a buttery graham cracker crust, followed by a creamy layer, then topped with the dreamiest pineapple whipped topping. After it has chilled in the fridge for a few hours, this stuff makes for one amazing summer dessert.

  1. When I saw this dessert ,I thought ..Perfect..just like the one my mother used to make when I was a kid. I followed the recipe and I don’t ever remember her baking the second layer. It liquified. What a disaster.
    Wondering why no one has responded to the concerns so many have had with this step of the method.
    Seems there is an error that needs to be corrected!! Anyone??

    1. I made it for the first time and it separated Messi Messi!!! Will never baked the second layer again! Wish I read the comments first LOL

  2. My desert, like others mentioned, the creamy layer turned to liquid. Is it still salvageable or should I be making another desert? It’s currently in the fridge, hopefully setting up for my BBQ tomorrow but now I’m scared I need a back up desert! Followed the recipe exactly!

  3. Oh my lands, this looks delightful! It looks light and perfect for a summer dessert! Thanks for linking up with Delicious Dishes Recipe Party!

  4. the perfect treat for a summer evening, two yums ( thumbs) up. I’m stopping by from DREAM.CREATE.INSPIRE.LINK I invite you to share at my link party too ( you can share until Sat. midnight) xo

    1. Very strange recipe. I’ve never had to bake a graham cracker crust before. Also, this recipe has raw eggs that are Not Baked as part of it’s recipe. I’m not willing to take a chance of getting sick by eating raw eggs. Since the price of eggs has skyrocketed in 2023, I sure don’t want to dump everything in the trash.** Sorry, maybe a different recipe might work out. **

  5. I saw this on two cup tuesdays link party and had to save this recipe. YUMMMMM! Please, post this or any others in our Link-Up as well!? It took a while but I have finally gotten back to blogging and Id love my kick off to include this!

  6. Same thing happened to me. The second layer turned to liquid. I tried cooking it longer and it did not help. I had to throw it out and choose another recipe. Why did this happen????
