Ingredients
- 3 large eggs separated
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Crushed Pineapple in 100% juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 baking pan with waxed paper. Sprinkle 1 cup of vanilla wafer crumbs on the bottom of the lined pan. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks, then add the sugar and salt.
- Drain the juice from the pineapple. Set the pineapple aside and add the juice to the egg yolks. Add the lemon juice and mix well.
- Cook this mixture in the top part of a double boiler, stirring constantly, until the mixture is slightly thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and add the crushed pineapple. Allow this mixture to cool.
- Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, like meringue.
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- Fold the meringue and whipped cream into the pineapple mixture.
- Pour this mixture over the vanilla wafer crumbs and spread gently to smooth it out.
- Sprinkle the remaining vanilla wafer crumbs over top the filling.
- Freeze for 3-4 hours or until firm.
