1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1-8 oz package cream cheese softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup whipping cream
PINEAPPLE CARAMEL LAYER
1-8 oz can crushed pineapple, drained well
1 8-10 oz jar caramel or chocolate sauce
WHIPPED CREAM LAYER
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
CHOCOLATE GLAZE
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Butter a 9x13 inch pan. Set rack in center rack of oven and preheat to 350.
CRUST
Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add flour and using low speed on mixer blend until mixture is pebbly and can be pressed together. Press mixture on bottom and up the sides of buttered pan. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Cool completely.
PUDDING
Beat yolks lightly and set aside. Whisk sugar, flour and milk in a medium pan until free of lumps. Set over medium heat and cook stirring constantly with a wooden spoon just to boil. Remove from heat and whisk a little of the hot, thick pudding into the beaten yolks, then pour the yolk mixture back into the main pudding mixture, whisking well. Continue cooking 1-2 minutes stirring constantly until thick. Pour pudding back into a bowl and add vanilla and butter stirring until butter melts. If pudding has lumps pour through a fine strainer. Chill, with wax paper pressed directly on the surface of the pudding until ready to use.
CREAM CHEESE
Beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice just to blend. In a separate bowl whip cream to medium stiff peaks. Fold a scoop of whipped cream into beaten cheese, then fold in remaining cream into cheese.
TO ASSEMBLE
Spread crust with cream cheese mixture. Top with pineapple, then drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce. Spread pudding over pineapple-caramel.
WHIPPED CREAM
Whip the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to stiff peaks. Spread over the top and chill well.
CHOCOLATE GLAZE
Melt the chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth and completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Drizzle over dessert in zigzags back and forth across the cake to decorate. from "Gooey Desserts" by Elaine Corn
