Yummy, Looking so Delicious
Hi i am trying this recipe tomorrow and i am sure it is just as awesome as the rest of your recipes! :)
Also, do you have a guava filling recipe?
Hi Angela, Thank you for your nice comment! I am sorry to say that we do not have a guava filling.
Would like to make this soon. Have one question, does the pineapple have to be drained of liquid?
Hi Lyndi, The pineapple is not drained. The cornstarch in the recipe will thicken up the liquid as it cooks. Also, as it cools in the refrigerator it will thicken up quite a bit. Hope you like it.
Hi,
This recipe looks delicious, can it be frozen?
Can I make this recipe with cane pineapple..
HI Jyotsana, I am not familiar with the term cane pineapple, is that fresh pineapple? If so, I think you could use fresh pineapple for the recipe.
Thank you very much...
An I freez this if I have extra
Hi Sarah, We have never frozen this filling though I think you probably can. You could also use a smaller can of pineapple and adjust the ingredients for a smaller amount of filling.
Hi, This was the best and easiest looking recipe I could find on line! :-)
My question is, once it's on the cake, do we need to refrigerate the cake?
Thanks!!
