Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 1/2 cup maraschino cherries, chopped (optional)
- 2 pre-made graham cracker crusts (9-inch)
Instructions
- Combine the base ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, thawed whipped topping, and freshly squeezed lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the fruit and nuts: Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, sweetened shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and chopped maraschino cherries, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients throughout the mixture.
- Fill the graham cracker crusts: Spoon the mixture evenly into the two pre-made graham cracker crusts, spreading it out smoothly to the edges.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the pies for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld.
- Serve and enjoy: Slice the pie into 8 pieces per pie and serve chilled for a refreshing and decadent dessert.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly squeezed lemon juice to enhance flavor.
- Draining the crushed pineapple well prevents the pie from becoming too soggy.
- The pecans and maraschino cherries are optional but add great texture and sweetness.
- Allow the pie to chill overnight for the best consistency.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
