Pineapple Pie
Description
The Pineapple Pie begins with a prepared 9-inch pie crust pressed into a pie dish. The filling combines crushed canned pineapple with both white and brown sugar, salt, cornstarch for thickening, shredded coconut, softened cream cheese, lime juice, lime zest, and coconut extract. These ingredients blend to create a rich, tropical-flavored filling.
Once filled, the pie is baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes until set. The result is a creamy, sweet, and slightly tangy pie, textured with pineapple bits and enhanced by coconut’s flavor notes. The lime adds brightness balancing the sweetness, while the cornstarch ensures the filling holds together.
After baking, the pie should cool before slicing. It is commonly served topped with ice cream, which adds a creamy contrast and cool temperature, complementing the warm spices and fruits in the pie.
