Sorry to say but the custard did not taste good and had a grainy texture.

After I made the custard, I thought this was going to be bad. It wasn't like any custard I've ever had. It was a little grainy so I was worried. However, once I put it all together it was wonderful!! I didn't use pineapple in syrup. I used in juice instead, but it still tasted great.

Not bad, but not outstanding. Easy enough to make (especially using the French Vanilla instant pudding).

Yum! My custard turned out fine. I never stopped stirring and found the texture to be quite smooth. The combination of flavors is excellent. I would make this for a potluck type of party; i anticipate it would be well received.

Delicious although we modified it a bit by using an extra cup of graham crackers and extra 1/2 stick of butter(the crust wasn’t thick enough the first time around)& we used two small packages of French vanilla pudding mix. I chilled the crust a bit before putting the mix on top and also let the pudding set a bit before putting in on the crust and nuts OH MY that was a great addition. I will make this again for sure it’s a delicious and light summer dessert. I'm glad I found it!!!

In general, this is a delicious dessert, but I felt the custard was grainy and too much work (stirring constantly for over 10 minutes) to come out with a mediocre custard. Next time, I will use vanilla pudding or a different custard recipe instead. I used a walnut crust from this site instead of graham cracker (personal preference). It complemented the dessert very well. I used pineapples in their own juice (all I had), but it would be better in heavy syrup. It was just a tad too tangy in their own juice. I did not let that bear on my rating since the recipe called for heavy syrup.

excellent! very good and easy. One thing that i must let everyone know is that when your making the custard you can not! stop stirring or it will scorch! continuously stir this please or it wont turn out! dont bake ouyr crust and put your custard on when its still warm because if you let it cool it will thicken too much and it wont spread well. But other than that it was great and i've made it 3 times!
