Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into a graham cracker crust.
- Freeze for 2 hours before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using fat-free Cool Whip. If crushed pineapple isn't available, you can substitute with finely chopped fresh pineapple. To enhance flavor, a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can be added to the mixture. Ensure the mixture is well-blended for a smooth texture before pouring it into the crust. Serve this refreshing dessert after a hearty meal, like the Fat-Free Old Fashioned Spice Cake.
Serving Suggestions
This pineapple pie is best served chilled, garnished with a sprig of mint or a drizzle of additional Cool Whip on top. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or alongside a slice of Georgia Peach Pie for a delightful summer dessert spread. Consider serving with fresh fruit to enhance the tropical flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pineapple pie in the freezer for up to two weeks. Make sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. While it can be enjoyed frozen, you can also let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier slicing.
