Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 20 ounces Crushed pineapple, drained
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, making sure to cover the bottom and sides. Use the back of a measuring cup to press it firmly.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the drained crushed pineapple, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pineapple filling cool to room temperature.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with a hand or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Step 8

Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar to the whipped cream and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Step 9

Spread the cooled pineapple filling evenly over the baked crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 10

Top the pie with the whipped cream, spreading it in an even layer or piping it decoratively.

Step 11

Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to set before serving.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy a creamy, tropical slice of Pineapple Cream Pie!
