Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, well-drained
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks

Optional Toppings:

  • Whipped cream
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Maraschino cherries or pineapple slices

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup sugar.
  2. Add melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.

2. Make the Filling:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and ½ cup sugar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Stir in vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
  4. Carefully fold in the whipped cream, keeping the mixture light and airy.

3. Assemble the Pie:

  1. Spoon the filling into the chilled graham cracker crust.
  2. Spread evenly and smooth the top with a spatula.

4. Chill the Pie:

  1. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm. (For best results, chill overnight).

5. Add Toppings and Serve:

  1. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, toasted coconut flakes, and fruit slices if desired.
  2. Slice and enjoy the creamy, tropical goodness!

Notes
