List of Ingredients

1/3 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple with juice


CREAM CHEESE LAYER:
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, soften to room temperature
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell
1/4 c. chopped pecans



Recipe

Combine sugar, cornstarch, and pineapple plus juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick and clear. Cool. Set aside.

Blend cream cheese, sugar, and salt in mixer bowl. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Blend in milk and vanilla (if mixture looks slightly curdled, don't worry - it bakes out). Spread cooled pineapple layer over bottom of pie shell. Pour cream cheese mixture over pineapple; sprinkle with pecans. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake 50 minutes. Cool.
