So last Friday I was making our Shabbat meal and had gotten the lasagna in the oven to bake and realized I hadn’t done anything for dessert! :O
I looked through our pantry and fridge… not a lot to work with, then I saw the fresh pineapple and the whipping cream. Surely I could make something with those together, right? :/ yeah me either… but I figured there had to be some type of frozen dessert that I could create with those ingredients… so I did some searching, mixed some recipes I found and came up with this…
I call it Tropical Freeze. 
and here is my recipe:
Filling:
1 1/2 c. sugar
4 eggs
8 tbsp. butter
2 pts. whipping cream, whip real good
2 c. crushed nuts
4 c. crushed pineapple (drain good)
3/4 c. raspberries
1/4 c. coconut flakesCrust:
2/3 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. flour
3/4 c. oats
3/4 c. Tropical Traditions virgin coconut oil
(the consistency needs to stick together, but not wet.)Beat sugar, eggs and butter. Drain pineapple. Whip cream.
Mix egg mixture, pineapple and nuts in large bowl then add whip cream.
Pour into 9×13 inch dish which has been lined with crust. Save a small amount of crackers to put on top of whip cream. Make about 1 – 2 hours before using. freeze.
It turned out pretty good. Only thing, I didn’t have 2pts of whipping cream and since I was using a fresh pineapple, I didn’t drain it. So it was runny, but once we froze it, it was ok. 
It’s kinda like a frozen smoothie!
Tropical Freeze is really refreshing and flavorful. It’s really good! See?
I’m such a moron! lol.

How can I encourage my girls (ages 9, 7, and 6) to cook and bake like you do so when they are older, they are making up their own recipes!
I am sincere in my question. I had to learn after we were married. Our first Thanksgiving was spent at a restaurant and the first year of our marriage we ate hot dogs and spaghetti … a lot.
