Simply wonderful! I made this as one serving and used half-and-half in lieu of whole milk. The directions are precise and easy to follow. The custard is smooth and creamy with no lumps using a wire wisk for the entire preparation. This dessert thickens up after adding the cornstarch/juice mixture and also continues to set up nicely during refrigeration. I paired it with leftover topping from Pineapple Coconut Cheesecake. This dessert is so smooth and creamy and it has wonderful flavor that melts in your mouth and has you begging for more... I now wish I made the whole batch. Thanks for posting Chef Kate, This is a definite must try recipe!

Made one batch and then added another so it didn't thicken the way it should but the flavor is great. Will definitely try it again...highly recommended.

This is a wonderful change of pace for pudding! Nicely flavored with the reduced pineapple juice which became basically a syrup as it was reduced. I used 1 cup 2% milk and 1 cup half and half, which seems to work fine. I didn't have to wait 10 minutes before the mixture with the cornstarch thickened. It thickened almost immediately. I got 3 servings divided into individual serving sized ramekins. Wonderful flavor! I will make this again! Thank you, Chef Kate!

Reviewed for ZWT III. My son and I both really enjoyed this custard. I forgot to add a little nutmeg at the end which is a shame but other than that I stayed true to the recipe and enjoyed every last spoonful. It was simple to make by carefully following the instructions and I would be happy to make this again in the future.
