Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to compact it firmly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and mix until well combined.
Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple and vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the pineapple and cream cheese mixture to create a light, fluffy filling.
Spoon the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set properly.
Once fully set, slice the pie and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for an extra tropical touch.
