EVERYONE seems to love this dessert, perhaps because it's not too sweet. A cousin gave me the recipe long time ago, much to the delight of my children, who always enjoyed it. It's light and delicious. Ingredients:
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup cold butter |
filling: |
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1 cup milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt; cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Press into an ungreased 8-in. square baking dish. Bake at 325° for 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
2. For filling, drain pineapple, reserving the juice; set pineapple and juice aside. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and flour. Add egg; beat on low just until combined. Add pineapple juice. Gradually add milk and vanilla. Sprinkle pineapple over crust. Slowly pour filling over pineapple. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
3. Bake at 325° for 1 hour or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 1 hour. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 9 servings.
