Notes
- This casserole is versatile enough to serve as a dessert or a side dish depending on your meal plan.
- Fresh pineapple is not recommended as it can add too much moisture and affect the casserole's texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days to keep the flavors intact.
- Reheat leftovers gently in the oven or microwave before serving to preserve the flavor and texture.
