Description
Pineapple pudding is a simple yet flavorful dessert that typically features layers of creamy custard, sweet pineapple, and crunchy vanilla wafers. It’s a crowd-pleaser that brings the best of both worlds: the tropical zing of pineapple and the comfort of a custard-based dessert. What sets it apart from other fruit puddings is the balance of creamy, tangy, and crunchy textures, making it the perfect choice for those who enjoy fruity and indulgent treats.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- Dash of salt
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 (20 oz) can pineapple tidbits, drained
- Vanilla wafers (enough for layering)
Instructions
- Make the Custard: In a double boiler (or a bowl over simmering water), whisk together sugar, flour, and salt. Add egg yolks and milk, whisking constantly for 10–12 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Layer the Dessert: In a serving dish, add a layer of vanilla wafers. Top with pineapple tidbits, then pour over a layer of custard. Repeat layers until ingredients are used up.
