Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Chilling Time: 4–6 hours
Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients
- 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed
- 1 prepared 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
Instructions
Step 1: Combine the Pineapple and Condensed Milk
- Open the can of crushed pineapple and pour it into a large mixing bowl, including all the juice.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk.
- Stir gently until the pineapple and condensed milk are evenly combined.
- Make sure there are no large streaks of condensed milk remaining.
Step 2: Fold in the Whipped Topping
- Add the thawed whipped topping to the pineapple mixture.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the ingredients together.
- Continue folding until the filling looks smooth, fluffy, and creamy.
- Avoid vigorous stirring, which can make the filling lose some of its airy texture.
Step 3: Fill the Pie Crust
- Place the prepared graham cracker crust on a flat surface.
- Spoon the pineapple filling into the crust.
- Spread it evenly with a spatula, smoothing the top.
- Gently tap the pie plate on the counter to help settle the filling.
Step 4: Chill Until Firm
- Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap.
- Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4–6 hours.
- For the best results, chill overnight so the filling has more time to set.
- Keep the pie refrigerated until you’re ready to serve.
Important tip: This recipe uses undrained pineapple, so the filling may be softer than a traditional baked pie. For firmer slices, use well-drained pineapple and reserve the juice for another use, or freeze the assembled pie for 30–60 minutes before serving.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
- Remove the pie from the refrigerator when ready to serve.
- Slice it into 8 portions using a sharp knife.
- Wipe the knife between cuts for cleaner slices.
- If desired, garnish each slice with extra pineapple pieces or graham cracker crumbs.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
