A very nice, easy dessert that is great for summer. Loaded with pineapple and topped with whipped cream and coconut this is one dessert that everyone will enjoy and you don't have to spend hours preparing and baking. No baking required.
I made this before I went to bed last night and it was perfect for serving today. It isn't rich, but light to the tastebuds so a nice piece will definitely be enjoyed. Happy NO BAKE dessert!
1 box vanilla wafer cookies (Nilla Vanilla type wafers)
1-20 oz. can crushed pineapple with natural juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 package coconut
8 oz. drained maraschino cherries or as I used Bing cherries( save a little juice to drizzle)
1 pint heavy whipping cream(you can use Cool whip) but freshly whipped cream makes it so good..
1/2 cup chopped pecans(optional)
In a large bowl place crushed pineapple(juice too), condensed milk and lemon juice. Stir well.
In a medium bowl beat whipping cream with 1 tsp. vanilla and 1/4 cup confectionery sugar until it forms soft peaks.
In a 13 x9 inch glass pan place half box of wafers. Slowly pour half of pineapple mix over wafers. Add the other 1/2 box of wafers of top and push down gently the wafers into the liquid. Top with whipped cream and coconut and refrigerate several hours but preferably overnight.
Top with a few cherries when serving.
Enjoy!
