A delicious, old recipe passed down from my Great-Grandmother. You will not be disappointed with the flavor. It's rich and creamy with a meringue top! Recipe may look complicated, but it's not -- much of the time spent is waiting for the filling to cool before assembling pie.

This is a classic from the Friendly Islands. It makes a huge amount but I tend to double the recipe, use a roasting dish as the pan...and it all goes. Great for big families, pot luck dinners. A Tongan treasure.

Categories     Pie

Time 1h25m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups crushed fresh pineapple (canned will do)
3 tablespoons custard powder
1 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 -5 egg yolks
5 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
4 -5 egg whites

  • Add to top of pineapple pie and bake until lightly browned in a 375 deg F oven.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple in juice, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Make sure the custard is thick enough before adding it to the pie crust. If it's too thin, it will run out of the crust.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites for the meringue. If they're overbeaten, they will become dry and crumbly.
  • Bake the pie until the meringue is golden brown and the custard is set. If the pie is not baked long enough, the custard will be runny.

Pineapple Custard Meringue Pie is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy custard filling, sweet pineapple chunks, and fluffy meringue topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
