My family asks for this dessert for every birthday and special occasion. It really is good, but sometimes I cringe when they ask for it – I think I make it at least 20 times a year. Be careful if you make it – you might find yourself in the same position I’m in – Making it over and over!

- I have found that the crust comes out better when using a foil pan.
- It has been my experience that making the crust the day before is very helpful.
- Really drain the pineapple well. I even place the pineapple on a paper towel and squeeze out any extra juice. You don’t want soggy pie!
- Do not drizzle too much chocolate syrup. I just do 4 or 5 passes.
