Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
- 1.5 cups Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 0.25 cups Sweetened shredded coconut (optional, for topping)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually fold the cooled pineapple mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
If desired, sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the top of the filling for a toasted finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before serving.
If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative garnish.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Pineapple Brunch Pie!
