  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Dash salt
  • 2 tablespoons crushed pineapple
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Cream Layer:

  • 1 (16-ounce) container sour cream

Coarsely chop dates, then saute dates in butter for several minutes until caramelized; sprinkle with salt. In food processor, pulse pineapple and 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Spread Date mixture evenly over pre-baked crust. Spread cream layer evenly over date mixture. Bake in middle of oven for 25 minutes at 350 degrees F until filling jiggles only slightly in the middle. Cool immediately in refrigerator or on dry ice at least 40 minutes until filling has cooled down and set.
