How to Make Pineapple Dream Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ cup packed light brown sugar. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool slightly.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
- Add 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour the pineapple filling over the cooled crust.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly soft in the center.
- Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to firm up.
- Cut into squares and serve. For an extra touch, melt 2 squares (1 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Drizzle over cooled squares and let set before serving.
