Ingredients
Scale
- 1 20-oz (567 g) can crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup (150 g) sugar
- 2 tbsps cornstarch
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tbsps (21 g) butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mixing: Combine pineapple chunks with juice, sweetener, eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla extract in a large bowl, whisking until the mixture becomes uniformly smooth and well-incorporated.
- Assembly: Pour the pineapple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula, then dot the surface with small butter pieces and dust generously with ground cinnamon.
- Baking: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, monitoring until the edges turn golden brown and the center sets firmly; verify doneness by inserting a toothpick that comes out clean.
- Resting and Serving: Remove from the oven and allow the bake to cool slightly, then serve warm or at room temperature to maximize the dessert’s delightful fruity flavors and inviting aroma.
Notes
- Select Fresh Ingredients: Use ripe, juicy pineapple chunks and pure vanilla extract for maximum flavor depth.
- Perfect Baking Consistency: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
- Temperature Control Matters: Bake at a steady 350°F and watch carefully to prevent over-browning or drying out.
- Serving Suggestions: Best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a light dusting of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
