Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, well drained
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth. Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is fully combined and creamy.
  3. Add fruit and flavor: Stir in the well-drained crushed pineapple and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  4. Prepare the whipped topping: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Assemble the pie: Pour the filling into the chilled graham cracker crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle the top evenly with the toasted, chopped pecans.
  7. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For best results, chill overnight.
  8. Serve: Slice and serve this easy summer pie cold.

Notes

  • Drain the crushed pineapple very well; excess liquid will prevent the pie from setting properly.
  • To toast pecans, spread them on a dry skillet over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often until fragrant.
  • If you prefer a fluffier texture, substitute 1 cup of frozen whipped topping (thawed) for the heavy whipping cream. Fold it in during step 5.
