Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to prevent a watery pie. You can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt for a protein boost. If you're short on time, consider using a pre-made sugar-free graham cracker crust. To enhance the flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the pineapple mixture.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pie can be kept chilled, but avoid freezing it as the texture of the whipped topping may change. If you need to serve it later, remove from the fridge about 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
