Quick Company Pie
A quick, creamy no-bake pie with pineapple and pecans, perfect for impressing guests or satisfying a sweet craving with minimal effort and delightful flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the Eagle Brand condensed milk, drained crushed pineapple, lemon juice, and chopped pecans together.
- Fill two 9-inch graham cracker crusts with the mixture.
- Refrigerate until chilled and set before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using macadamia nuts instead of pecans for a richer flavor. If you prefer a lighter pie, substitute low-fat condensed milk. Make sure to drain the pineapple well to avoid excess moisture, which can make the filling runny. This pie is perfect for warm weather gatherings, much like American recipes that celebrate fresh flavors.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Quick Company Pie chilled, garnished with additional chopped pecans or a dollop of whipped cream for added flair. This pie pairs beautifully with fresh fruit salad or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a festive touch, try serving it alongside Bertha'S Banana Pudding to please your guests.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To keep the crust from getting soggy, it's best to serve this pie fresh. If you need to make it ahead, prepare the filling and store it separately from the crust until you're ready to serve.
