Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh pineapple, but make sure to finely chop it and cook it down with sugar and eggs to achieve a similar consistency. Canned pineapple has more juice, which helps thicken the pudding. Adjust the sugar to taste, as fresh pineapple can be less sweet.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make Mildy'S Pineapple Pudding gluten-free, substitute traditional graham crackers with gluten-free graham crackers or crushed gluten-free cookies. Ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free, especially the brown sugar and any additional toppings you might use.
What can I use instead of eggs?
If you need an egg substitute, consider using flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with water. For each egg, combine 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal or chia seeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens. This will help bind the pudding without altering the flavor.
