Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine drained crushed pineapple, lemon juice, and condensed milk in a mixing bowl.
- Mix well until fully blended.
- Add Cool Whip and coconut to the mixture and stir until combined.
- Pour the filling into the baked graham cracker crusts.
- Freeze the pies until firm, about 4 hours or overnight.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding a tablespoon of finely grated lemon zest to enhance the citrus flavor. If you prefer, you can substitute the graham cracker crust with a pre-made pie crust for a different texture. Using fresh pineapple instead of canned can also intensify the flavor, but ensure it is well-drained to avoid a soggy filling. This pie can be made a day in advance for optimal flavor.

This pie is perfect for summer gatherings or special occasions, offering a refreshing finish to any meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of crust for this pie?
Absolutely! While the classic graham cracker crust is traditional, you can use a store-bought pie crust or even a cookie crust made from crushed cookies like Oreos for a different flavor profile. Just ensure the crust is baked and cooled before adding the filling.
How long can I keep this pie in the freezer?
The Partridge Berry Pie can be stored in the freezer for up to two weeks. Just make sure it is well-wrapped to avoid freezer burn. For best results, consume it within the first week for the freshest taste and texture.
Is there a way to make this pie dairy-free?
Yes! To make a dairy-free version, substitute the condensed milk with a dairy-free sweetened condensed milk alternative, available in stores or homemade. Ensure the Cool Whip is also a dairy-free version, or use a coconut whipped topping for a similar texture and flavor.
