Colombian Pineapple Custard is a traditional South American dessert that combines the tropical flavors of fresh pineapple with sweet custard. The custard is rich and creamy, with a tangy pineapple flavor that balances out the sweetness. It is easy to prepare and can be served in individual ramekins or in a large bowl with sliced pineapple and a sprinkle of lime zest on top. This dessert is perfect for a summer barbecue or a refreshing treat after a spicy meal.

Instructions

1.	Puree the chopped pineapple in a blender or food processor until smooth.
2.	In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the superfine sugar over medium-high heat until it starts to melt and turn golden brown.
3.	Add the pureed pineapple to the pan and whisk together until well combined.
4.	Remove from heat and slowly pour the beaten eggs into the pineapple mixture, whisking constantly.
5.	Return the pan to medium-low heat and continue whisking for 10-15 minutes, until the custard thickens.
6.	Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and lime juice until well combined.
7.	Let the mixture cool, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
