Best Pineapple Bake (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Pineapple Mixture
01 -
One 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple, including the juice
02 -
Two eggs
03 -
3/4 cup granulated sugar
04 -
Two teaspoons of vanilla extract
05 -
Two tablespoons of cornstarch
→ For the Top
06 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 -
1½ tablespoons of butter cut into small pieces
→ Optional Extras To Serve
08 -
Whipped cream
09 -
A scoop of vanilla ice cream
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven temp to 350°F (175°C), so it gets nice and hot.
02 -
Lightly grease a 9×9-inch pan to avoid any sticking and make it easier to serve.
03 -
In a big mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, crushed pineapple (juice included), sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla. Stir until it's smooth with no lumps.
04 -
Empty the pineapple mixture into your greased pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
05 -
Dot small pieces of butter across the top, and sprinkle cinnamon so it covers everything evenly.
06 -
Bake the dish for about 45 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the center sets. Stick a toothpick in the middle to check—it's done if it comes out clean.
07 -
Take it out and let it cool down a bit before serving. It tastes great warm or at room temp. Add a scoop of ice cream or some whipped cream if you'd like.
# Notes:
01 -
This dish works great as a dessert or a sweet side for ham and other main dishes.
02 -
Give it extra tropical vibes by mixing in 1/4 cup of shredded coconut before baking.
03 -
Leftovers keep fresh in the fridge for up to three days. Just warm them up in the microwave.
