How to Make Pineapple Square
- **Crust:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix 1 ½ cups of wafer crumbs with ¼ cup melted butter until evenly moistened.
- Reserve ¼ cup of the crumb mixture for topping.
- Press the remaining crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a well-greased 8x8 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Let the crust cool completely in the pan.
- **Filling:** In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter and 1 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
- **Pineapple Layer:** Drain a 20-ounce can of pineapple chunks, reserving ½ cup of the juice. Whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the drained pineapple chunks.
- Spread the pineapple mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumbs over the top.
- **Chill:** Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set completely.
