Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the Cool Whip, drained crushed pineapple, and Eagle Brand milk together.
- Pour the mixture into two 9-inch graham cracker crusts.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using a low-fat whipped topping or Greek yogurt instead of Cool Whip. If you want to enhance the flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a handful of shredded coconut. For a different fruit twist, you could substitute the pineapple with drained mandarin oranges or mixed berries. This pie is very forgiving and can be adapted based on your favorite flavors.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Hurry Pie chilled, garnished with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for added texture. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a light salad or as a sweet finish to a barbecue. This dessert is perfect for summer gatherings or potlucks.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pie can be served cold straight from the fridge, making it a refreshing dessert. If you need to reheat it, allow it to come to room temperature before serving, as heating may alter the texture of the Cool Whip.
