Ingrediënten

De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, stir together the drained crushed pineapple and granulated sugar until well combined.

   Ongeveer 2 min

2. 2

   In a separate small bowl, mix the chopped walnuts with the melted dairy-free butter.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: Tossing the nuts in butter helps create a richer, more distinct layer.

3. 3

   Spread half of the crushed vanilla wafers in an even layer on the bottom of an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: You don't need to press this layer down firmly; a loose layer is fine.

4. 4

   Spoon half of the pineapple mixture over the wafer layer and spread it out evenly.

   Ongeveer 2 min

5. 5

   Sprinkle half of the walnut and butter mixture over the pineapple.

   Ongeveer 1 min

6. 6

   Repeat the layers, starting with the remaining crushed wafers, followed by the rest of the pineapple mixture, and finishing with the remaining walnuts.

   Ongeveer 4 min

7. 7

   Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator to chill.

   Ongeveer 1 min

8. 8

   Let the dessert set for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm.

   Tip van de kok: Chilling overnight yields the best texture as it allows the wafers to soften and absorb the moisture.

9. 9

   To serve, slice into squares. Garnish with a dollop of whipped topping and a maraschino cherry, if using.
