No bake pineapple and cream dessert is a super easy no cook dessert that tastes like something much more time-consuming. Everyone loves these tropical treats which my Aunt Virginia created.
It seems to me that my aunt in Scotland should have been a recipe developer. Everyone who’s tried Aunt Virginia’s pineapple and cream dessert made with Digestives have become huge fans!

There are so many great dishest hat she has created, and all of them are winners, like her lovely Digestive* treats. The following photo is of her actual dessert which I took last year (note that the color of the cream in Scotland is more yellow, or cream colored, as compared to our US cream).
So it seems fitting that I share this recipe on her birthday! Happy birthday, Aunt Virginia!
*US readers: Digestives are an incredibly popular biscuit (cookie) in the UK. More popular than Oreos!
These have to be one of the easiest desserts ever made. There’s really no need for a recipe. Simply place Digestives on a serving plate (yes, make them right on the serving plate), for as many as you’d like to make, then place a slice of pineapple on top of each biscuit. Spoon a little juice in the center of each ring. (I imagined a little rum would work, too!)

Then either spoon or pipe some freshly whipped cream (in the UK, you can spoon on double cream) into the center of the pineapple ring. Place in the fridge for a few hours before serving, so that the Digestives soften. The pineapple rings and Digestives are the exact same size, so this even looks like a perfect little dessert.
And would I be posting these Pineapple Cream Digestives if they weren’t absolutely delectable? Of course not! I love these little treats and that’s why I asked my Aunt if I could share them with you! Don’t forget, this is the same Aunt Virginia that gave me the recipe for Homemade Bounty & Mounds Bars.
Let me know what you think about either of these great recipes and I’ll pass it on to Aunt Virginia herself; I’m sure she’d love to hear your comments! I do believe Aunt Virginia’s Pineapple and Cream Digestives will make you a fan, too!

Love the simplicity of these! I’m not a huge oreo fan so think I’m more like the Brits and into the digestive cookies!
Yes, they are simple and delicious, Vicky!
These look like the perfect snack!! Such a great way to use digestives! :)
They are, Annie!
These sound so delightful!
Thank you! Aunt Virginia will be pleased!
Such a simple treat! Love the swirl on top :)

I love Digestives, I don’t understand why they are so hard to find here. There are forms of them at Mexican and Indian food stores, and in some international sections of other grocery stores, but otherwise hard to get. Such a great and simple treat!
I’ve seen those knock-offs, Andi, but nothing compares to McVities!
What a clever and easy dessert!
You’d never guess it’s so easy to make if you tasted it, though!
I gave it 5 stars or thought I did. Doing it over.
That rating system is very fickle, that often happens to me on others’ sites, too! Thanks, Suzanne!
Merry Christmas Christina and what a lovely dessert. I love digestives and this is so simple and delicious I have to try it.
Merry Christmas to you too, Suzanne! Yes, super easy dessert, you can’t beat it!
