Here are questions related to Dessert Recipes Using Pineapple.

Pineapple Pie

I want to make a pineapple pie. However, I would prefer to use crushed canned pineapple, not pineapple pie filling as it is too expensive. I also do not want to make one that is frozen using Cool Whip. Any recipes out there for pineapple pie using canned crushed pineapple? Thank you.

Pineapple Pie

Recipe: Pineapple Pie
Archived on 12/08/2009
This is a pie that everyone raves about when I make it.

Ingredients:
Pie crust for 2 crust pie*
2 cans crushed pineapple 20oz. or 1.4 lb. cans in natural juices
1/3 cup corn starch
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. almond extract (vanilla extract will work also if you prefer)
1- 9 inch Pie pan
*I use the pie crust recipe on the Crisco shortening can or you can use an refrigerated already made pie crust dough from the grocery store, like Pillsbury, etc.
Directions:
Pre-Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
Drain as much juice as you can from both cans of crushed pineapple and reserving juice.

Put sugars in stove top pot along with corn starch and salt, add 1/3 cup of the reserved pineapple juice and stir until blended. Stir on medium heat until heated through then add both cans of the crushed pineapple, bring to a boil over medium heat add 1/4 cup more of reserved pineapple juice. Continue cooking on medium heat for about 5 to 6 minutes or until pineapple filling has thickened. Add almond extract, stir in well. Turn off heat.

Lay bottom pie crust in pan pressing down slightly around bottom of pie pan to seat crust, moisten slightly with water around edges of bottom crust add pineapple filling and cover with top crust. Trim around edges leaving about 1/8 inch past the edge of the pie pan. Crimp edges or seal with a fork to seal crust together.

You can cut top crust into strips and cover with lattice style top crust for more decorative pie. Brush top of crust with water or egg white and sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar.

Place in oven on center rack. Bake for 15 minutes at 450 degrees F. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and continue baking for about 50 minutes or until top crust is golden brown. Let cool for about 45 minutes to an hour and serve.

I do put a cookie sheet covered with foil on one rack below the pie while it is baking just in case I have a slight boil over while it is baking, (this is normally not a problem). You might want to put foil around the edg of the crust for 20 minutes to keep it from gettng to brown.

You can top with ice cream or whipped cream, whichever you like, but everyone I have served this to wants no topping, just pie.

Servings: 8

I grew up in the 60s. Mom always made "Frozen Pineapple Desert". It was my favourite and I have made it a few times as an adult. She still has the tattered recipe card in her recipe box! I'll have to ask her where the recipe came from.

Frozen Pineapple Desert

1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups crushed pineapple
1/3 cup pineapple juice
2 eggs separated
2 Tbsp. cream
2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

In a stand mixer, cream together the butter and the sugar. Mix together egg yolks and cream and cook slightly until thick. Cool egg mixture and combine with creamed butter. Add pineapple and juice. Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into pineapple mixture.

In a 13 x 9 glass baking dish, layer graham cracker crumbs, then pineapple mixture. Top with a final layer of graham cracker crumbs.

Cover the baking dish with cling wrap and freeze. Serve with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.

I found this in a search for pineapple cheesecake, which sounds like what you were originally asking about a cheesecake with a layer of pineapple b/t the cream cheese and the crust. Hope this helps.

Pineapple Cheesecake Recipe
Mix 1 cup sugar with 2 cans crushed pineapple in heavy syrup in a pot. Heat with 3 tablespoons cornstarch. Bring to a boil, stirring until thickend. Turn off and remove from heat while mixing cream cheese mixture.

Mix 2-8oz bars cream cheese,1 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons salt. Mix in 4 eggs and stir well. Add 1 cup milk and 2 teaspoons vanilla.

Spread pineapple mixture into a pie shell lined 13X9 pan. Pour cream cheese mixture on top of that. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.

Bake in preheated oven at 400°F for 10 minutes, then turn down to 325 degrees for 50 minutes more.

Pineapple Cheesecake Recipe

Years ago, I had written and made many times a recipe for a "Pineapple Cheesecake", the recipe came from a bag of Gold Medal Flour. The base of the cake was actually a cake batter made from scratch with the chunks of pineapples placed into the batter, it used cream cheese with some of the pineapple juice.

If anyone has this recipe, I would greatly appreciate a copy of it, I have moved several times over the years and in the moves lost this really tasty cheesecake.

Hope someone out there can help.

Thanks so much,
Nancylee from Southeastern, Massachusetts

    RE: Pineapple Cheesecake Recipe

    You're welcome, Nancylee. I have always been a collector of recipes and recipe books... well, not always, but since I first got married 26 years ago, because I was always calling my mom for advice on cooking. I had never made complete meals before due to lack of interest. So, my mom starting buying recipe books for me, and even gave me some of her old ones. That's when I started adding to them through the years, and love browsing through them for ideas. Enjoy! (04/03/2007)
