Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix condensed milk and lemon juice until smooth.

- Mix well to combine.
- Fold in Cool Whip until fully incorporated.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor. If you want a lighter option, you can substitute the Cool Whip with a homemade whipped cream. Ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the pie. If you're allergic to nuts, feel free to omit them or use seeds instead to maintain texture.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is best served chilled and can be garnished with additional whipped topping and a sprinkle of toasted coconut for added texture. It pairs beautifully with a light salad or fresh fruit for a balanced meal. For special occasions, consider serving alongside a slice of Pumpkin Pie (Dieters) for a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The pie can be made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. If you need to reheat, it's best served cold, so simply take it out of the fridge about 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh pineapple, but ensure it is finely chopped and well-drained to avoid excess moisture. Fresh pineapple can add a brighter flavor to the pie, but canned is more convenient and consistently sweet.
How long does the pie need to set in the refrigerator?
The pie should be refrigerated for at least 4-6 hours, but overnight is ideal for the best texture and flavor. This allows the flavors to meld and the pie to firm up, making it easier to slice.
Is it possible to make this pie dairy-free?
Yes, you can make a dairy-free version by using a dairy-free condensed milk alternative and a non-dairy whipped topping. Be sure to check the labels to ensure all ingredients align with your dietary preferences.
