Steps:
- Day before serving, lightly grease 8 inch square cake pan, pack half the crumbs in bottom of pan. In medium bowl, with wooden spoon, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg beating well. Drain pineapple well, reserving syrup for pineapple sauce. Fold in pineapple and pecans. Fold in whipped cream just until well combined. Turn into prepared pan, spreading evenly, sprinkle with rest of crumbs. Cover top of pan with foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Pineapple sauce: In small sauce pan combine sugar and corn starch, mix well. Measure reserved pineapple syrup and if necessary add water to make 3/4 cup. Gradually add pineapple juice stirring until smooth. Add lemon peel and crushed pineapple. Bring to boiling over medium heat, stirring, boiling until mixture is thickened and translucent. Cover and refrigerate.
Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapple: The riper the pineapple, the sweeter and more flavorful your icebox dessert will be.
- Use fresh or frozen pineapple: Fresh pineapple is ideal, but you can also use frozen pineapple that has been thawed and drained.
- Do not overmix: Overmixing will make the icebox dessert grainy. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
- Chill for at least 4 hours: This will allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Serve cold: Icebox dessert is best served cold, straight from the refrigerator.
