I was looking last min for a light springy Easter desert that will impress my LG family of tried & true cooks and bakers. I am trying to diet!!! Prepare the second box of pudding as you did the first, with the remaining 2 cups of milk. My grandma was the queen of icebox cakes – they were a regular appearance at her Sunday dinners, especially during the spring and summertime. Recipe sounded delicious but it turned out kind of bland and boring. Hi Martha, You could, and then just divide it when assembling the cake. https://www.cookiemadness.net/2013/05/24/pineapple-icebox-cake We wouldn’t make it again.

I made this recipe using Cheesecake flavored pudding (all the vanilla was sold out at my local store) and it was perfect. This recipe looks so dreamy! Hers were always a very basic icebox cake recipe – layers of graham crackers alternating with layers of vanilla pudding. My mother makes something similar called Summer Cool Cake. This pineapple icebox cake makes a perfect Easter dessert – it’s light and refreshing, and the pineapple will get you ready for warm, sunny days! https://gramsrecipebox.com/2019/10/16/pineapple-icebox-cake Add egg yolks one at a time, beating after each addition and scraping the sides. I’m glad I halved the recipe because it is all too easy to polish off! The TJ ginger snaps are not as porous as Nilla wafers, but I think if I give it overnight set time instead of 4 hours, it will work. I love pineapple so this recipe is calling my name :). Pour into prepared crust and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Pour the pudding evenly over the layer of Nilla wafers, using a rubber spatula to spread into an even layer. Four years ago: Rhubarb Crumb Cake Add drained pineapple. Required fields are marked *. Hello Michelle and thank you for posting this recipe!

Hi Michelle! Pour the pudding over the 2nd layer of Nilla wafers, spreading it into an even layer with a rubber spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. This easy pineapple icebox cake is made with layers of Nilla wafers, vanilla pudding, crushed pineapple, a Cool Whip topping. Fold in whipped topping: set aside. Beat until light and fluffy. I remember having this dessert years and years ago — my sweet sister-in-law made it and she has since passed away. A big crowd pleaser! It was super easy and perfect for spring- thanks for sharing! And, most of all, it literally screams “SPRING.” Thanks so much for passing it along to us. I put a springtime, Easter spin to that recipe for dessert this past Sunday. They were sampling it and OMG so yummy. I was meeting a friend for lunch on Saturday and I had precisely 30 minutes after I had finished getting ready before I had to leave, and I managed to make this AND clean up the kitchen before I left. I also like the idea of shredded coconut as, Leai suggested on 3/23. I just bought a yummy Coconut Cake from Sams Club today. May I suggest that you try Trader Joe’s Vanilla Wafers in your next recipe that you would otherwise use Nilla Wafers? 4-serving size boxes vanilla-flavored instant pudding mix Six years ago: Super Mario Brothers Birthday Cake. Top with another layer of Nilla wafers, again breaking them into pieces if needed to fill any large gaps. I’ll try a small sample before making changes. This recipe sounds yummy. Is there a reason why you can’t prepare the pudding all at once? Nabisco doesn’t even use REAL vanilla in their Nilla wafers any more! It’s in the refrigerator as we speak. My mouth is watering that sounds so good!! Line the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with Nilla wafers, breaking them to fill in any big gaps along the edges.

Buona Pasqua! Love the flavor combo and its super easy! Stir in 1 can of the crushed pineapple.
