Pineapple Cream Squares No Bake Food

MOM'S (ALMOST) NO BAKE PINEAPPLE SQUARES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line an 8x8" pan with tin foil. Spray with non stick spray.
• In a small bowl, melt ¼ cup butter. Stir in graham crumbs. Spread into prepared pan and bake for 8-10 minutes or until dry on top. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
• Beat remaining ¼ cup butter and 1 cup powdered sugar with an electric mixer. Add 1-2 tablespoons pineapple juice until it comes together and is smooth (you don't want it too wet!). Spread onto cooled crust.
• Beat cream with an electric mixer on high until soft peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in crushed pineapple and spread onto filling in the crust.
• Refrigerate for 3-4 hours until chilled and set. Cut into 12-16 bars.

PINEAPPLE SQUARES

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.
