Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 20 ounces Crushed pineapple, drained
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, making sure to cover the bottom and sides. Use the back of a measuring cup to press it firmly.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely on a wire rack.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the drained crushed pineapple, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pineapple filling cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with a hand or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar to the whipped cream and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Spread the cooled pineapple filling evenly over the baked crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Top the pie with the whipped cream, spreading it in an even layer or piping it decoratively.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to set before serving.
Slice and enjoy a creamy, tropical slice of Pineapple Cream Pie!
