Made with eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, pineapple chunks and 100% pineapple juice, this Pineapple Flan is an easy tropical twist on a classic Latin dessert.
*This Pineapple Flan recipe is part of a sponsored partnership in collaboration with DOLE and #WeAllGrow Latina Network. As always, all opinions are my own.
I love my fair share of dessert but flan is by far one of my favorites. It is sweet, creamy and very versatile.
Flan can be made in a variety of flavors like it’s the case with this pineapple flan or my popular coconut flan. The best part is how incredibly easy it is to make! All you have to do is blend all the ingredients until smooth and bake in a water bath until dense and custard-like.
To make this delicious pineapple flan, I used a combination of the traditional ingredients (eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk) and Dole Pineapple Chunks with Pineapple Juice.
I always keep my fair share of Dole Packaged Foods fruits in my pantry. There really is no excuse to not include more fruit in our daily eating habits when you can have a can (or a bowl) of pure fruit goodness in your pantry at all times. Plus, they can come in very handy at dinner time. Dole pineapple can be used in many ways in recipes to change up weekend events, as well as weekday meals.
And nothing beats that feeling you get when you find a good recipe and realize that you have all of the ingredients at home!

How do you adjust the recipe if using a can of Crushed pineapple? I have a 20oz can of crushed pineapple and a large can of juice not from concentrate.
My Dominican Kitchen says
Hi! You can use the crushed pineapple, just make sure to drain it well so the flan doesn’t end up too watery. Then use the juice in place of part of the liquid in the recipe, adjusting slightly if needed so the mixture isn’t too thin. It should still turn out delicious!
Karrie says
I have not made this yet, but I plan to. My question is, can you used crushed pineapple? I have one 20oz can of crushed pineapple and a 46oz can of pineapple juice. How much juice should be used in the recipe? The can of crushed pineapple doesn’t contain the same amount of juice a can of the chunks do.
Thank you, can’t wait to make this with my daughter who is obsessed with flan🙂
My Dominican Kitchen says
That sounds like such a fun plan to make it with your daughter 😊
Yes, you can use crushed pineapple, just drain it well so it doesn’t add too much extra liquid. For the juice, you can use about the same amount the recipe calls for, just measure it out from your can rather than using it all. Hope you both love it!

Recipe ingredients for Pineapple Juice reads:
“½ Pineapple Juice from the Dole Pineapple Chunks”
Is that 1/2 cup or 1/2 juice from the Can for ????
Thank you for the added information
My Dominican Kitchen says
Great question! In this recipe, it means ½ cup of the juice from the can of Dole pineapple chunks, not half the can. Hope that helps!

Quesillo de piña, that’s the way we call it. I love the coco flakes on top!
Yaritsa Rodriguez says
quesillo is different from flan because it includes cream cheese
