How to Make Golden Treasure Pie
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 (20 ounce) can undrained pineapple chunks, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and ¼ cup water.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, cream together ⅔ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 16 ounces (approximately 2 cups) cottage cheese, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon salt. Beat until smooth.
- Add 3 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 cup milk.
- Pour the cooled pineapple mixture into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
- Gently pour the cottage cheese mixture over the pineapple layer. Avoid disturbing the pineapple layer.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (232°C) for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted halfway between the center and edge comes out clean.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Serve chilled for the best flavor.
