🛒 Ingredients

For the crust:

• 1 prepared graham cracker pie crust (9 inches)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter, if making your own crust

For the cream cheese layer:

• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup whipped topping

For the pineapple layer:

• 1 can (20 oz / 565 g) crushed pineapple, thoroughly drained
• 1 package (3.4 oz / 96 g) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 cup cold milk
• Additional whipped topping for garnish (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the crust.
Place your graham cracker crust in a pie dish if it isn’t already prepared. Set it aside while you make the filling.

2. Make the creamy cheesecake layer.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, then gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping.

3. Spread the first layer.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the crust and spread it evenly to create a smooth, creamy base.

4. Prepare the pineapple filling.
In another bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with the cold milk until it begins to thicken. Fold in the thoroughly drained crushed pineapple.

5. Add the tropical layer.
Carefully spread the pineapple mixture over the cream cheese layer, creating two beautiful layers of flavor.

6. Chill until set. ❄️
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For the best texture, let it chill overnight.

7. Garnish and serve.
Top with extra whipped topping and a few small pineapple pieces, if desired. Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy every creamy, fruity bite! 🍰

💡 Tips for the Perfect Pineapple Pie

• Drain the pineapple well: Excess juice can make the filling too soft.
• Use softened cream cheese: This helps prevent lumps and creates a silky texture.
• Give it enough chilling time: The pie slices more neatly when thoroughly set.
• Make it ahead: Prepare it the night before a gathering for an easy, stress-free dessert.
• Keep it refrigerated: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3–4 days for best quality.
