"This dish was yummy! I made it last night and refrigerated it so it would be ready for my party today at noon, it hit the spot! I did have to cook it a little longer, i'd say 15 minutes extra. The only annoy thing about this recipe is that I had to use my mixer 3 different times, meaning I kept having to wash the bowl. But I'd consider it worth it, my husband asked for it for his birthday cake next month!"
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 egg
- 2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk
- FILLING:
- 1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 5 eggs, separated
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Whole milk
- Ground cinnamon
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar. Combine flour and baking powder; add to butter mixture. Add egg; mix until well blended and crumbly. Add milk and blend until dough forms a soft ball.
- Pat dough onto bottom and 1-1/2 in. up sides of a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Place pineapple in a sieve over a 4-cup glass measure; press with the back of a spoon to squeeze dry. Spread pineapple evenly over bottom crust, reserving juice in glass measure; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and flour. Add the egg yolks, lemon juice and vanilla; mix well. Add enough milk to reserved pineapple juice to measure 2-1/2 cups. Stir milk mixture into cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- In a large bowl, beat egg whites on high until stiff. Fold filling mixture into egg whites. Gently pour into crust. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Bake at 325° for 55 minutes or until filling is set. Cool completely on wire rack. Chill until serving. Yield: 12-15 servings.
