Oh wow... great keeper. The clash of the sweet pudding with the tartness of the pineapple.... awesome exchange in your mouth, nothing to compare, you just must try it. (and I don't like pineapple) 02/17/2010 update.... made again using 4 bananas in lieu of the pineapple, and 1/4 cup milk for the pineapple juice. Sorta smushed the banana coarsly with a fork and proceeded with recipe.... it was great. You may want to cover with whipped cream but I preferred without.
