Add 3 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes.

Prepare the pineapple filling by mixing 3.5 cups crushed pineapples, 4-5 tablespoons custard powder, and 1 cup milk in a bowl.

Add 1 cinnamon stick and 1 cup sugar to the mixture and stir well.

Turn off the heat and let the filling cool for about 30 minutes.

Blind bake the pie shells for about 15 minutes at 170 degrees Celsius, checking to avoid burning the sides.

Remove the rice from the pie shells and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Fill the baked pie shells with the cooled pineapple filling and refrigerate to set.

Optionally, add cream on top of the pies before serving.
