Ingredients

• 1 sheet Pie crust dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
• 1 cup Shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
• 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 piece Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Honey or simple syrup (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust dough into an even circular shape if needed.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and spreadable.

Step 4

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over one half of the pie crust, leaving about 1 inch of space along the edges for sealing.

Step 5

Distribute the pineapple chunks evenly over the cream cheese layer, then sprinkle the shredded coconut on top.

Step 6

Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle. Press the edges together and crimp them with a fork to seal.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, cut the semi-circle into 8 evenly sized wedges. Carefully transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the wedges with the beaten egg to create a golden crust during baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the pastry is fully cooked.

Step 10

Remove the wedges from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. For added sweetness, drizzle with honey or simple syrup if desired before serving.
