100% would make this recipe for Pineapple Icebox Cake again.

Here is a popular dessert in my family. The original calls for almonds which I found to be rather bland. I loved it with brazil nuts. If you can't get brazil nuts substitute caramelized pecans or chopped walnuts. Use which ever are your favourite.

Pineapple Icebox Cake Ingredients

6 ounces butter	2 cups pineapple slices (diced)
1 1/2 cups icing sugar	1 cup brazil nuts (chopped)
4 eggs (separated)	1 lemon sponge cake ( I use a pre-packaged lemon box cake)
1 teaspoon vanilla	2 cups whipped cream

Instructions for Pineapple Icebox Cake

Cut the cake into one inch thick slices.
Cream butter and icing sugar until fluffy.
Add egg yolks one at a time, beating after each addition and scraping the sides.
Add vanilla, pineapple and brazil nuts.
Beat egg whites until stiff but moist and fold into mixture gently.
Place a layer of cake in a dish, then a layer of pineapple-butter mixture; continue to layer until all the cake and mixture are used up, ending with the pineapple mixture.
Cover with foil and freeze for 24 hours.
When ready to use take out and thaw for a 10 minutes. Garnish with whipped cream, a maraschino cherry and sprig of mint,or candied orange pieces -- whatever suits you.
Variation: drained peaches or ripe mangoes could be substituted for the pineapple. I have only ever made it with pineapple.
