Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake crust (see below).

Remove from heat. Fold in the pineapple. Cool completely.
Beat the whipping cream in a chilled bowl until stiff. Fold into the pineapple mixture. Spread carefully over the dessert. Cover loosely and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours. Cut into 3 inch squares.
For Pat-In-The-Pan Crust: Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl until crumbly. Press firmly and evenly in the bottom of an ungreased 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Bake until set, about 15 minutes.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
