Pineapple Slice

Retro desserts are making a comeback and this one should be at the top of the list. Some prefer a no-bake version, but the toasty flavour of the baked graham wafer crumbs takes the cool topping to the next level.

This recipe first appeared in 1976’s The Best of Bridge and can now be found in The Complete Best of Bridge: Volume 1. Some may call it retro; we call it a slice of heaven.
