PINEAPPLE SNOWBALLS

Pineapple Snowballs image

From "Seasoned in Sewickley," a Pittsburgh area cookbook published in 1980. This is a cold, quick, light and refreshing dessert, good for summertime. And pretty, too. Simple to make. It IS better if made the night before so that the vanilla wafers have a chance to soften. EDITED to make it clear that you need 18 plus 36 vanilla wafers so you need to buy a whole box. And the crushed wafer/crushed pineapple mixture needs to be fairly wet so that the the stacked wafers will soften. If you drain the crushed pineapple, keep the juice in case you need to add it in. From my cache of "Olde" recipes.

Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the wafers tough.
Cook the wafers over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
Let the wafers cool completely before assembling the stacks. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
Be creative with your fillings. You can use anything from whipped cream and fruit to ganache and ice cream.
