Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 0.25 cups lemon juice
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 8 ounces crushed pineapple, drained
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 5

Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese while mixing. Beat until creamy and fully incorporated.

Step 6

Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 7

Pour the cream cheese filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.

Step 8

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the crushed pineapple with its juice, cornstarch, and water. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 9

Allow the pineapple topping to cool completely before spreading it evenly over the chilled cream cheese filling.

Step 10

Refrigerate the pie for another 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Slice and serve chilled!
