Pineapple Cream Cheese Pie

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

For the Filling:

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (8 oz) container of whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained well
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Make the Crust:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are coated.
    • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring it forms an even crust on the bottom.
    • Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is lightly golden. After baking, let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
    • Add in the whipped topping and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
    • Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  3. Assemble the Pie:
    • Once the graham cracker crust has cooled completely, spread the pineapple cream cheese filling evenly over the crust.
    • Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
  4. Chill the Pie:
    • Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set properly.
  5. Serve:
    • Once chilled, slice the pie into wedges and serve.
    • Garnish with extra whipped topping or fresh pineapple slices, if desired.
