My grandmother was born in 1913. She didn't like cooking all that much,
and wasn't very good at it. Our special family dessert was:

Pineapple Chiffon

Crumbed vanilla wafers pressed into a 9 x 13 pan.
Melt marshmallows, add canned crushed pineapple in heavy syrup, cool.
Fold in whipped cream (later, Cool Whip) and spread over
vanilla wafer crust. Chill and serve.

I loved it when I was a kid. Now, not so much.
