Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 stick of butter, melted
  • 2 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 cups finely chopped fresh pineapple
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a mixing bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs, coconut and melted butter. Mix well. Press into the bottom and sides on a nine inch pie pan. Bake until firm and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. In a saucepan, whisk the two cups of milk and sugar together. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the liquid up to a simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks together. Temper the hot milk into the egg yolks. Whisk the tempered egg mixture into the hot milk mixture. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the remaining milk to make a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the hot milk mixture. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until the filling is thick, about 4 to 6 minutes. Fold in the pineapple, vanilla and butter. Mix well. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and cool the pie completely. Using an electric mixer with a whip attachment, whip the egg whites to soft peaks. Add the remaining sugar and whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Spread the egg whites over the top of the pie. Place the pie in the oven and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown. Slice and garnish with powdered sugar and fresh mint.

    Is there anyway to save the filling from the bitter taste? Is there anything that can be done?

    I couldnt undertand how to make it at all. It states two dofferent times about the butter and suger but doesnt tell you how much of which one to use. When i cooked it i had to leave it in longer than 3-4 minutes it looked great but the family told me not to make it again. I am on this thing where i am not cooking the same thing twice in one month. so i am on here all the time. My sister tells me that i am a great cook only because i know how to follow directions. HA HA this one was one i had to be able to read emails mind on because i didnt get it at all!!!!!!!!!! Try GIADA For great desserts her hazelnut choc. tort is the best YET!!!!!

    I used canned crushed pineapple just because it's cheaper than fresh. This was fantastic! Careful, though--it's RICH!!!
