Non-Cook Pineapple Pie
A cool, creamy no-bake pineapple pie with crunchy pecan topping, perfect for summer gatherings and those craving a sweet, tropical treat without any baking.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the drained crushed pineapple, Cool Whip, Eagle Brand milk, lemon juice, and crushed pecans together in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into a pie crust or serving dish.
- Chill the pie overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, you can substitute Greek yogurt for some of the Cool Whip. If you prefer a nut-free dessert, you can omit the crushed pecans or replace them with crushed graham crackers for added texture. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. Make sure to drain the pineapple well to avoid a soggy pie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this refreshing pineapple pie as a light dessert after a hearty meal. It pairs beautifully with Sausage Cheese Tidbits for a balanced spread. Consider topping it with additional crushed pecans or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra touch. For a delightful twist, serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pie is best enjoyed cold, so there’s no need to reheat it. If the mixture separates slightly after chilling, simply give it a gentle stir before serving to restore its creamy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie in advance?
Yes, this non-cook pineapple pie is perfect for making in advance. It's best to prepare it a day before serving, allowing the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly in the refrigerator. Just make sure to keep it covered to maintain freshness.
What type of pie crust should I use?
You can use a pre-made graham cracker crust for a classic touch, or opt for a traditional pie crust if you prefer. For a gluten-free option, look for a gluten-free graham cracker crust. The choice of crust will complement the creamy filling beautifully.
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
While canned crushed pineapple provides convenience and sweetness, you can use fresh pineapple if you prefer. Just ensure it's finely chopped and well-drained to avoid excess moisture. Fresh pineapple will add a vibrant flavor and a bit of texture to the pie.
