Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 prepared graham cracker crust (9-inch)
Filling
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, well drained
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup maraschino cherries, chopped and patted dry
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip), plus more for topping if desired
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice. Stir the mixture continuously until it thickens and becomes smooth.
- Combine ingredients: Gently fold the well-drained crushed pineapple, chopped pecans, and chopped, patted dry maraschino cherries into the condensed milk mixture. Then carefully fold in the whipped topping until the entire filling is fully combined and fluffy.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the prepared filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust. Smooth the top evenly with a spatula to ensure an attractive finish.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Serve and garnish: Before serving, add extra whipped topping on top of the pie and garnish with additional chopped pecans or maraschino cherries if desired for an appealing presentation.
Notes
- For a firmer texture, freeze the pie for 1–2 hours before slicing.
- Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to prevent a runny filling.
- This pie can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
- Use fresh whipped topping for the best flavor and texture.
