Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press into the pan: Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan to create an even layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling to help it set.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add heavy cream and condensed milk: Slowly incorporate the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined and fluffy.
- Incorporate the add-ins: Gently fold in the crushed pineapple, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Fill the crust: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the filling is firm and set.
- Top the pie (optional): Before serving, optionally sprinkle additional chopped pecans or shredded coconut on top for garnish.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Drain the crushed pineapple well to prevent the pie from becoming soggy.
- Chilling overnight improves the texture and allows flavors to meld.
- This pie is best served cold and should be stored in the refrigerator.
- You can substitute pecans with walnuts or omit nuts if preferred.
- For a lower fat version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping, but this will affect richness.
