Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, well drained
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your graham cracker crust and set it aside.
- 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.
- Stir in the well-drained crushed pineapple and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
- Fold in half of the chopped pecans and the optional coconut into the filling.
- Spoon the filling evenly into the prepared graham cracker crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining pecans and coconut over the top of the pie.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm. Slice and serve cold.
Notes
- You must drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly; excess liquid will prevent the pie from setting properly.
- To toast pecans and coconut, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 to 8 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- This is a great make ahead dessert; it sets best when chilled overnight.
