Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the melted butter, beaten egg, and confectioner’s sugar together until creamy. Spread this mixture onto the cooled first layer in the baking dish.

Layer 3 Ingredient:

1 (20-ounce) can of crushed pineapples

Drain all of the juice from the pineapples. Spread the crushed pineapples over top of the second layer of ingredients in the baking dish.

Layer 4 Ingredients:

1 package of Dream Whip

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar

In a small mixing bowl, beat together the package of dream whip, vanilla extract and confectioner’s sugar until creamy and smooth. Lightly spread this mixture on top of the third layer in the baking dish.

Cover the dish and place into the freezer. Once the dessert is firm, remove from the freezer and let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Cut into squares before serving.
