No Bake Pineapple Pie
Description
If you’re anything like me, sometimes the best desserts are the ones that don’t even require turning on the oven — especially when you’re craving something light, fruity, and a little bit nostalgic. This No Bake Pineapple Pie is exactly that.
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained very well
- 2 tbsp lime juice (for that little tart kick!)
- ½ cup shredded coconut (optional, but so delicious)
- Whipped topping or whipped cream for garnish
Instructions
In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until it looks like wet sand.
Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish and chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and drained pineapple. Fold in the shredded coconut if you’re using it.
Pour the filling into the chilled crust, smoothing out the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until set.
Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of toasted coconut or lime zest for that little extra something.
