Ingredients

• 2 cups Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Crushed biscuits or graham crackers
• 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh pineapple, dice it into small chunks. If using canned pineapple, drain the syrup completely and set the chunks aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple chunks and granulated sugar. Stir and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the pineapple releases juices and softens slightly. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/4 cup of milk until smooth and lump-free.

Step 4

In a clean saucepan, heat the remaining milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the warm milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 5

Add the pineapple mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens (about 5-8 minutes).

Step 6

Stir in heavy cream, vanilla extract, and unsalted butter. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine everything into a creamy pudding. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 7

To assemble, take serving glasses or bowls. Layer the bottom with crushed biscuits or graham crackers, followed by a generous scoop of pineapple pudding. Repeat layers if desired.

Step 8

Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top for garnish, if using. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving for the best flavor.
