Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cups crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 0.33 cups lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 cup whipped cream (for topping, optional)
- pineapple chunks or lemon slices (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the 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 let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple until evenly incorporated.
Pour the filling mixture into the cooled crust, spreading evenly.
Bake the pie in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-17 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until fully chilled.
Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with pineapple chunks or lemon slices.
