Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy cream, whipped
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for strawberry sauce)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Let the crust cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, and continue beating until fully combined and creamy.
Gently fold the drained crushed pineapple into the cream cheese mixture.
Fold the whipped heavy cream into the pineapple filling until no streaks remain.
Pour the pineapple cream filling into the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until set.
To make the strawberry sauce, combine the sliced strawberries, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the strawberry sauce from the heat and allow it to cool completely. For a smoother sauce, blend it using an immersion blender or strain out the solids, if desired.
Once the pie is set, slice and serve each piece with a generous drizzle of the strawberry sauce on top.
