PINEAPPLE SNOWBALLS
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.

WAFER STACKS
This recipe is in a box marked 1974 labeled Margret Mary. This would be one of my college friends who was a chef. She would make this for me and my roommates on a regular weekly routine.

Steps:
- 1. Spread whipped cream on a wafer, then place another wafer on top and more whipped cream- repeat until four or five wafers are stacked. Sprinkle the stacks with coconut and place a cherry on top. Continue making stacks with remaining cookies and ingredients.
- 2. Note: You may want to use prepared coconut instant pudding in place of the whipping cream. Then put a dab of whipped cream on top then the cherry.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your wafer stacks.
- 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.
