Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 20-ounce (567 grams) can crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup (150 grams) sugar
Thickening and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 ½ tablespoons (21 grams) butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a gentle 350°F (175°C), creating the perfect environment for baking.
- Prepare a 9×9-inch baking dish with a light coating of grease to ensure effortless removal.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the tropical pineapple chunks with their natural juice, granulated sweetener, farm-fresh eggs, delicate cornstarch, and aromatic vanilla extract until the mixture achieves a silky-smooth consistency.
- Transfer the vibrant pineapple blend into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to distribute the mixture evenly across the surface.
- Artfully place small dollops of creamy butter across the top of the mixture, then dust the surface with a fragrant sprinkle of warm cinnamon.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown perimeter and a firm, set center. Test for doneness by inserting a clean toothpick into the middle – it should emerge without any clinging batter.
- Carefully extract the baked dish from the oven and allow it to rest briefly, letting the flavors settle and the texture stabilize.
- Serve the dessert while it’s still warm or at a comfortable room temperature, inviting guests to enjoy its comforting, fruity essence.
