Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly using a fine-mesh strainer, gently pressing out excess liquid to prevent the pie from becoming watery.
- In a large mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese at room temperature for about 10 minutes to ensure smooth blending.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula, ensuring a smooth and even mixture without deflating the whipped cream.
- Add the drained crushed pineapple to the cream cheese mixture, stirring carefully to distribute evenly throughout the filling.
- Pour the pineapple cream cheese mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Smooth the top of the pie with the back of a spoon to create an even surface.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
- Before serving, you can garnish with additional whipped cream, pineapple chunks, or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs if desired.
- Slice into 8 equal portions and serve chilled directly from the refrigerator.
Tips
- Moisture is the Enemy: Make sure to drain your crushed pineapple thoroughly. Use a fine-mesh strainer and gently press out excess liquid to prevent a soggy pie.
- Room Temperature is Key: Let your cream cheese sit out for about 10 minutes before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Chill for Success: Patience is crucial! Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours, but overnight is even better for the perfect set.
- Garnish Game Strong: Elevate your pie with optional toppings like extra whipped cream, fresh pineapple chunks, or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
- Make Ahead Magic: This pie is perfect for preparing in advance, making it ideal for parties, potlucks, or when you want a stress-free dessert option.
