Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1.5 cups Pineapple chunks (canned, drained or fresh)
- 2 cups Coconut milk (full-fat, from a can)
- 5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
In a blender or food processor, puree the pineapple chunks until smooth. You should end up with approximately 1 cup of pineapple puree.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, pineapple puree, cornstarch, and 1/2 cup of sugar until smooth. Place over medium heat and stir constantly.
Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens significantly and comes to a gentle boil. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
Before serving, sprinkle the top with unsweetened shredded coconut if desired, for added texture and flavor.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your lactose-free pineapple coconut cream pie!
