Snowballs

This is a great holiday dessert. Isn't hard to make, but is time-consuming.

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
2/3 cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
1 cup nuts, chopped
2 egg whites - stiffly beaten
2 boxes vanilla wafer
2 cans flaked coconut
1 pint whipping cream - sweetened

Cream butter and sugar, add egg yolks, pineapple and nuts. Fold in egg whites. Mixture needs to cool. Layer mixture between three vanilla wafers. Cover in whipping cream, then coconut.

Let set overnight before serving.

1 box of wafers make around 27 snowballs
