2 (9
inch) pie shell |
1/2 cup raw
sugar |
Directions
1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2 To Make Pineapple Layer: In a medium saucepan combine 1/3 cup sugar, cornstarch,
and pineapple with juice. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until
mixture is the consistency of jelly.
3 To Make Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until
fluffy. Whip in sugar and salt until mixture is smooth. Add eggs, vanilla,
and milk. Beat mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Mixture
will be liquidy.
4 Pour half of pineapple mixture into each pastry shell. Pour half of
cream cheese mixture over each pineapple layer. Sprinkle with
chopped walnuts if desired.
5 Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees
and bake an additional 50 minutes, until tops of pies begin to brown. Chill
before serving. Top with whipped cream if desired.
Note:
This is a two layer pie with a crushed pineapple bottom and a cream cheese
top. It is best when made a day ahead and served cold. Top each slice with
whipped cream if you like. Makes 2 pies (16 servings).
