Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Crushed biscuits or graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
If using fresh pineapple, dice it into small chunks. If using canned pineapple, drain the syrup completely and set the chunks aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple chunks and granulated sugar. Stir and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the pineapple releases juices and softens slightly. Set aside to cool.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/4 cup of milk until smooth and lump-free.
In a clean saucepan, heat the remaining milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the warm milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Add the pineapple mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens (about 5-8 minutes).
Stir in heavy cream, vanilla extract, and unsalted butter. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine everything into a creamy pudding. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
To assemble, take serving glasses or bowls. Layer the bottom with crushed biscuits or graham crackers, followed by a generous scoop of pineapple pudding. Repeat layers if desired.
Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top for garnish, if using. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving for the best flavor.
