very good, for an extra flakey light crust I did the crust in a processor using frozen cubed butter, the crust fit well into a 13 x 9 pan but I will double the filling next time I felt that for that size of a pan there should have been more pineapple filling, all in all we enjoyed the, thanks for sharing Lainey!

Really good recipe! And, something a little different. I was expecting the filling to be more custard-like but it was moist & cakey. I followed the recipe exactly without using the toasted coconut garnish. I took to a Father's Day bbq & my aunt raved about what a nice finish they were to the meal - nice & light & not too sweet.
