Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup sugar (or Swerve)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • dash salt
  • 1 box vanilla wafers
  • 1 can crushed pineapple (20-ounce, undrained)
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Instruction

  • Place the egg yolks, milk, 1/2 cup of sugar, flour, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, cook until thickened (about 15-20 minutes). Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Place half of the wafers in the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish. Spread 1/2 of the crushed pineapple on top, cover with 1/2 of the custard, and repeat.
  • Place egg whites in a clean mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (see post for more clarification on this). Add sugar and beat again until stiff peaks form. Spread over the top of the pudding and take care to make sure the meringue touches the sides all around. Place in a 350-degree oven until the top is lightly brown (about 15 minutes).
  • Best if served warm.
