Pineapple Pie | Polynesian style

This dessert is a favourite of mine growing up in the islands. My grandma was the one who would always make pineapple pies and it was always a pleasure to indulge in the sweetness of this dessert, with of course a cup of tea to sip it all down. Fast Forward time and I am now able to make the so called pineapple pie, but cleaning up afterwards is more of a trouble, but definitely worth it. Hope you all enjoyed! Malo

Just wanted to comment on your Pine Apple Pie Recipe. We just opened a small Pie Bakery in Sydney and we started making small Pine Apple pies using your recipe. The feedback has been amazing. Just wanted to point out that I take no credit for the recipe. Thank you.

[@TasteoftheSouthpacific]

That's awesome! Glad to hear that, whats the name of your bakery? Maybe if I'm in Sydney I'll stop by.

[@warriorwithin9310]

[@lilimaginness5061]

Best pineapple pie recipe I've seen thus far! Everyone uses cream instead of the traditional meringue... love it..

[@willielatu427]

This brought back memories of when mum use to make this pie growing up, thank you

[@Mike-im6gu]

Brings back good childhood memories of when mum use to make this in the 80s.... Fafetai :-)

[@salutuia512]

I actually followed this recipie and it was a hit! Thank you for the vid. The easiest to follow God bless

Awww my favorite Samoan pie😂😘💖Thank you for sharing 💖 blessed day dear💖💖💖

[@fayevids7391]

Thank you for this quick and easy way to make Pineapple pie Samoa styles 😆👌🏼 🇼🇸

[@brookside109]

I remembered living in NZ with my auntie and she taught me to make pineapple pies and this was the recipe of the crust as well as filling. Needless to say when I left her house, I never made it again,so this brings those memories back. We used baked meringue. With a few slaps you learn pretty quick how to make things.

[@peleka56]

My cousins were all born and raised in New Zealand and all of them know how to make this pie. And they gave me the recipe, but its harder for me to follow the written recipe. Im so glad I found your video now cause thats exactly how they make theirs too. Thanks so much for this video it makes it a lot easier for me to follow it step by step. Thanks again. Now I can start baking. 😅🌹

[@TasteoftheSouthpacific]

Aw anytime!! Hope you enjoy the pie! Let me know how it goes

[@fayevids7391]

Hey just wanted to let you know I made this twice and today on Christmas Eve, I was having the worst trouble when it came to making the custard!! I realised what it was..I was following the written recipe and it differs to the amount in the video..lol thanks for the recipe again just thought id let you know.

[@TasteoftheSouthpacific]

Phylis Pona sorry!! I’ll make sure to update the written 😊

[@BobKatterTheGreatMan]

Thanks for sharing your variation of this recipe. I know there are different ways of creating this dish. I use water instead of water for the custard so that it's more jelly-like consistency rather than custard and use whipped cream topped with passionfruit pulp and peaches for the topping. Nevertheless I very muched enjoyed this video. Malo aupito!

[@TasteoftheSouthpacific]

Thank you :) Your pie sure sounds delicious, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@vtalo3000]

[@tongansaggi]

Wow, our very own Member of the Australian house of representatives Bob Katter makes this pie, and his own variation sounds as amazingly delicious as this one. Cant wait to try both versions, thank you both for sharing. Big thumbs up!

Craving pineapple pie so bad rn 😭

[@ofalove1543]

OMG...that looks delish..always love this but never try making it...is this the same dessert dish that was all the rage in the 80's at every Polynesian event???.I remember a friend who use to make something like this but for some reason she would always cut out the top layer of the cooked pie before pouring on the custard n pineapple filling...never asked why coz it was always delicious after she put everything together😋...

[@TasteoftheSouthpacific]

Yes it is 😊 and that does sound delicious

[@JesusSaviour4ALL]

Question why don't you roll the base out so it's a uniform size/shape? Does it make any difference?

[@TasteoftheSouthpacific]

You can, but I just prefer doing it this way.

[@evelynnauer1772]

[@gmb265]

For the custard is it 2 and half cups of milk or 3/4 cups?

[@TasteoftheSouthpacific]

2 1/2 cups milk, I corrected the written part.

[@griffinula1]

How did you get the custards to turn yellow?

[@TasteoftheSouthpacific]

If you're using the custard powder it turns yellow

[@Es5.374]

what temperature was the oven set to to bake the crust and to bake the rest of the custard and meringue at the end?

[@TasteoftheSouthpacific]

The oven temperature was at 180℃, to bake the crust and meringue. The custard at first was cooked at medium heat, once it starts boiling turn it down low and add a bit of milk if it is too thick. Hope that helps 👍🏽

[@Es5.374]

TasteoftheSouthpacific thank you, it looks delicious.

[@TasteoftheSouthpacific]

No problem. It was indeed. Definitely make some pie so you can enjoy 😊

[@Ornacia29]

TasteoftheSouthpacific the video says set oven to 205degrees Celsius

[@ofalove1543]

Gonna TRY this but anyone ever incorporate cream cheese. My 2 fav combos..... ..pineapple💓cream cheese..

[@della1760]

Hello, can you confirm the following please: 1. For the crust, is it 3/4 cup of milk or 1/2 cup milk? 2. salted or unsalted butter? 3. Do I remove the pineapple can juice/syrup in the custard or drain it? 4. is it 205 degrees or 180 degrees (i saw your reply in one of the comments) Apologies in advance, this will be the first time for me making a pai fala and also new at baking. TIA for your time

[@TasteoftheSouthpacific]

1. 1/2 cup milk 2. I used salted, but you can use unsalted 3. 180 degree celcius Let me know how it goes

No way is that pie lasting overnight in the fridge. Its not even gonna make it to the fridge 😂 ETA: this makes pineapple pie so simple. Thanks! Still tweaking the pastry. But this is good in a rush.

[@fionas9795]

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm following all instructions BUT my base keeps rising and losing it's shape 😣😣😣

[@TasteoftheSouthpacific]

Try poking a fork on the dough before putting it in the oven or putting less of the baking powder. The base doesn't have to be shaped perfectly. Let me know how it goes.

[@fiasua9450]

Same here just made my crust n of course it rises🤦‍♀️n I see Author says to poke with fork ( I did) n cut down baking soda( amount pls?)

[@akanesiahonima8404]

So on the ingredients list you listed 3/4 cup of butter but on the video you have 1/2 cup of butter 😳 which one is right? Lol pls 🙃

[@TasteoftheSouthpacific]

Please use 1/2 cup butter will update list

[@soureecccece8330]

If you poke holes into your crust before it goes in the oven the crust won’t shrink

[@fiasua9450]

Does it change the texture of the crust if u roll it out?
