Do you love pineapple toppings on ice cream or in pastries? Make your own using three ingredients!
As of late, Mr. Fantabulous has been on this major.. no, I’m talking MAJOR banana split kick at one of our favorite custard places. Now this place is incredible as they make true homemade custard. True homemade custard is made with eggs and cream.
It’s SUPER high in fat and calories, but honestly, it’s worth running those extra couple of miles when you really want to indulge. However, indulgences cost money, and with the way my husband eats, this can get pretty pricey, to say the least. To be honest, I think what he loves as much as the custard is their homemade ice cream toppings.
They make their own hot fudge, strawberry sauce, and pineapple sauce. Since I already make an amazing hot fudge, I figured I’d take a stab at making the other two.
This sauce is super delicious and tastes exactly like the stuff at this custard place. If you’re a pineapple topping fan, I cannot be held responsible for you eating the entire jar with a spoon even before you put it on your ice cream.

- Method: stove top
- Cuisine: sauce, pineapple topping, ice cream topping, pineapple filling
Ingredients
- (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon butter *optional
Instructions
- Strain the juice from the pineapple, and set aside. Add the sugar, corn syrup, and reserved pineapple juice to a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly to a loose mixture, 10-15 minutes. The mixture will thicken somewhat more upon cooling. Add the pineapple pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes. *Add the butter if it starts to foam.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Pour into a glass jar and cover. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
This will not be thick like say hot fudge but rather a syrupy sauce with lots of pineapple in it. The sauce will just coat the back of a spoon.
