Step 1

In a saucepan, combine the first 6 ingredients; cook and stir over low heat until mixture reaches 160. Remove from the heat. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese; gradually add egg mixture, beating until smooth. Cool to room temp. Fold in whipped topping. Refrigerate until serving. Stand pineapple upright and vertically cut about a third from one side, leaving the top attached. Remove fruit and discard outer peel from the smaller section, leaving a 1/2 in shell. Cut fruit into chunks. Fill shell with dip. Sprinkle with orange and lemon peel if desired. Serve with pineapple chunks and other fruit.
