MY DAUGHTER introduced me to several recipes that are low in sugar after I found out I have diabetes. This was one of them, and it's become one of my favorite desserts. I enjoy making this pie and baking other treats for my daughters, 10 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. -Elsie Wilson, Freeman, Missouri

Pineapple Cream Pie (Diabetic) image

This wonderful pie is just too good for words! I think it's the sour cream that adds so much richness without overpowering. I got this recipe from a junior high school cook I work with. She brought this pie to a get together and I JUST HAD to have the recipe! So smooth, creamy and sweet, it does not taste diabetic! I love this pie!

Time 55m

Yield 20-24 tarts, 20-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) jar pineapple preserves
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
1/3 cup powdered sugar, for decorating

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix together the butter, vanilla and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Sift together the flour and corn starch. Add the flour mixture to the bowl and stir by hand until a dough forms.
Roll dough into 1 inch balls and press into miniature muffin cups. Mold dough into the shape of the cup. (it's much easier if you use a tart shaper. If you do use this, make sure to flour it every 1-2 tarts, otherwise it will stick.).
In each cup, put 1 teaspoon of pineapple preserves.
In a small bowl, Mix sugar and egg until well blended. Stir in the flaked coconut and put 1 teaspoonful of the coconut mixture onto each of the pineapple filled tarts.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Cookie crusts should be slightly golden.
Cool tarts in the pan for at least 15 minutes before attempting to remove. (They may be very diffucult to remove from the pan. If they are, it's easiest to cut off the top and take the bottom out, then put them back together and no one will notice!)
Lightly tap mini muffin pans on the counter to loosen tarts. Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar before serving.
