Guest Pie
A creamy, fruity no-bake pie featuring whipped topping, sweetened condensed milk, crushed pineapple, nuts, and a splash of lemon juice, perfect for gatherings and dessert lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir together the whipped topping, Eagle Brand milk, crushed pineapple, and chopped nuts until well mixed.
- Add lemon juice last and mix again.
- Pour the mixture into a large oblong pan or two 9-inch pans with a graham or vanilla wafer pie crust.
- Chill until set before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a firmer texture, consider adding a packet of powdered gelatin to the mixture. You can substitute the nuts with sunflower seeds for a nut-free version. If fresh pineapple is available, use it instead of canned for a brighter flavor. This pie can also be made with a chocolate graham cracker crust for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pie chilled, garnished with additional whipped topping and a sprinkle of chopped nuts on top. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit like berries or slices of kiwi for added color and flavor. Consider serving alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The pie can be served cold directly from the fridge, but if you prefer a softer texture, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. Avoid freezing as it may alter the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of Eagle Brand?
Yes, for a lighter version, you can use sweetened condensed milk alternatives, but keep in mind that the flavor and sweetness may vary. Coconut milk can also be used for a dairy-free option, adding a tropical twist to the pie.
How long does it take for the pie to set?
The chilling time can vary, but generally, the pie should be refrigerated for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. The longer it chills, the firmer it will become, making it easier to slice.
Can I add other fruits to this pie?
Absolutely! You can incorporate diced strawberries, bananas, or even mango for added flavor and texture. Just ensure that the total liquid content remains balanced to maintain the pie's structure.
