Ingredients

Scale

For the crust (optional if not using store-bought):

  • 200 g (2 cups) graham cracker crumbs
  • 75 g (1/3 cup) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

For the filling:

  • 1 can (397 g or 14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (227 g or 8 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 240 ml (1 cup) whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), plus more for garnish
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (or homemade if preferred)

For garnish (optional):

  • Whipped topping
  • Extra shredded coconut
  • Chopped pecans
  • Maraschino cherries

Instructions

Prepare the crust (if making homemade):

  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Mix until evenly moistened.
  • Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides. Chill for 20 minutes in the refrigerator, or bake at 175°C (350°F) for 10 minutes if a firmer crust is desired. Allow to cool before filling.

2. Prepare the filling:

  • In a large bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, drained pineapple, shredded coconut, and nuts (if using).
  • Stir in the lemon juice until combined. Fold in the whipped topping gently to keep the mixture light and airy.

3. Assemble the pie:

  • Pour the filling into the pre-made or homemade crust, spreading it evenly.

4. Chill and garnish:

  • Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
  • Before serving, garnish with additional whipped topping, shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and maraschino cherries, if desired.

5. Serve:

  • Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy this rich and creamy delight!


Notes

  • You can substitute the nuts with mini chocolate chips for a kid-friendly twist.
  • For a more citrusy flavor, add some orange zest to the filling.
  • This pie can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
