Natilla de pina, or pineapple custard, is a traditional Colombian dessert that is made with fresh pineapple, milk, eggs, and sugar. It is a creamy, flavorful treat that is perfect for any occasion. The pineapple gives the custard a bright, tart flavor that is balanced by the sweetness of the milk and sugar. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover pineapple. It can be served chilled or at room temperature, and it can be garnished with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or crushed nuts.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place sugar in a bowl.
- Place flour in a large mixing bowl. Begin working butter into flour slowly until fully incorporated. Repeat process gradually with cream cheese, kneading dough until uniform and no longer crumbly. Form into 1 inch balls, then flatten with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1/8 inch. (This may also be done by rolling out the entire amount of dough and cutting rounds with a biscuit cutter.)
- Place 1 tablespoon preserves on each dough center. Fold over, and seal with fingers or press to seal with a fork. Place cookies on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Cookie will remain white and should not be browned, and it is normal for some filling to leak from the cookie. When cookies are cool enough to handle, roll in sugar until evenly coated. Transfer to a platter to cool completely.

Tips:
- Use ripe pineapples for the best flavor. You can tell a pineapple is ripe when it is slightly soft to the touch and has a sweet smell.
- If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple. Just be sure to drain it well before using.
- You can use any type of milk you like in this recipe. Whole milk will give you a richer custard, while skim milk will make a lighter version.
- If you don't have cornstarch, you can use flour instead. Just be sure to whisk it into the milk until it is completely dissolved.
- Be sure to cook the custard over medium heat, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent it from curdling.
- You can serve the natilla de pina warm or cold. It is also delicious topped with whipped cream or fruit.
