Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, beat the egg whites separately and fold them in at the end. You can substitute the coconut with almond flour for a different flavor, or use fresh pineapple if you prefer. Ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to avoid a soggy pie. For an extra crunch, consider adding some Microwave Toasted Seasoned Pecans on top before baking.
