How to Make Lemon Pineapple Can Can Dessert

  1. Drain one 20 ounce can of pineapple chunks and reserve 1/4 cup of the juice. Roughly chop the pineapple chunks.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pineapple, 1/2 cup of reserved pineapple juice, and 1/2 cup of lemon curd.
  3. Gently fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping (Cool Whip or equivalent).
  4. Spoon the mixture into individual dessert bowls or glasses.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill completely.
  6. Before serving, garnish with lemon slices or a sprinkle of finely grated lemon zest, if desired.
