No bake, chilled dessert. The pineapple ingredient was added per post request. You can also add strawberries, if desired. Prep time does not include chill time. Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine, softened and divided |
2 cups crushed vanilla wafers (about 60 wafers) |
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 cup whipping cream |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons baking cocoa |
1 cup walnuts, chopped |
1 large firm banana, sliced thin |
1/3 cup halved maraschino cherry |
1 can crushed pineapple, drained |
whipped topping |
chocolate curls (my family calls this chocolate potatoes because you use a potato peeler to shred a bar of chocolat) |
additional maraschino cherry |
Directions:
1. Melt 1/2 cup butter and toss with the wafer crumbs, press into a 9 inch pie plate.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream the remaining butter; beat in confectioners sugar until combined.
3. Spread over crust.
4. In another bowl, beat cream, sugar and cocoa until stiff peaks form.
5. Fold in walnuts, banana, pineapple and maraschino cherries and spoon this mixture into crust.
6. Cover, refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
7. Garnish with whipped topping, chocolate curls and cherries.
