Name: Easy Hawaiian Pineapple Squares Recipe
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 60 min
Total time: 70 min
Ingredients: 1 1/2 Cups of All Purpose Flour.; 1/2 Cup of Granulated Sugar.; 3/4 Cup of Unsalted Butter (Chilled & Cubed.); 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt.; 1-20 Ounce Can of Crushed Pineapple (Slightly Drained.); 2 Eggs.; 1 Cup of Granulated Sugar.; 1/2 Cup of Sour Cream.; 1/3 Cup of All Purpose Flour.; 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt.; 1 Cup of Powdered Sugar.; 1/4 Cup of Milk.; 1-2 Drops of Coconut Extract (Optional.)

To store Hawaiian Pineapple Squares, follow these steps:

Allow them to cool completely: Once the squares are baked, let them cool to room temperature on a wire rack or in the baking dish.

Cut into squares: If you haven’t already, cut the Hawaiian Pineapple squares into your desired size.

Use an airtight container: Place the cut squares in an airtight container. You can use a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid or a resealable plastic bag.

Layer with parchment or wax paper: If you have multiple layers of squares, place a sheet of parchment or wax paper between each layer to prevent sticking.

Seal the container properly: Ensure that the container is tightly sealed to prevent air from getting in. This will help maintain the freshness of the squares and keep them from becoming stale.

Refrigeration (optional): If you plan to store them for an extended period or if the weather is particularly warm and humid, you can store the squares in the refrigerator to prolong their shelf life.

Label and date: If you have multiple types of treats or plan to store them for an extended period, it’s a good idea to label the container with the contents and date of storage. This will help you keep track of their freshness.

Best consumption timeline: These Hawaiian Pineapple Squares can generally be stored at room temperature for a few days (3-4 days) or refrigerated for up to a week. If you need to store them for longer, you can also freeze them for up to 2-3 months. Freezing might slightly affect their texture, but they should still be delicious.

It’s always best to use your judgment and rely on your senses to determine if they are still fresh and safe to consume. If you notice any signs of spoilage, such as an off odor, mold, or unusual texture, it’s best to discard them.

How do store these bars? In the fridge? Or can you leave them out?

  TBH I haven’t, but if I were to I would blend fresh pineapple with a little bit of water before blending the filling ingredients together, then measure the blended pineapple, then make the filling as per the recipe directions.
