Description

This pie is creamy, slightly tangy, and perfectly sweet, with bursts of juicy pineapple in every bite. The smooth cream cheese filling pairs beautifully with the crunchy graham cracker crust, creating a balanced dessert that feels both rich and refreshing.

Tips

• Drain the pineapple thoroughly to prevent a watery filling.
• For extra flavor, add a bit of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture.
• Chill the pie overnight for the best texture and clean slices.
• Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer, creamier result.

Correction / Variations

• Too soft? Reduce the amount of pineapple or increase chilling time.
• Too sweet? Slightly reduce the powdered sugar or add a splash of lemon juice.
• Variation: Add shredded coconut or use a vanilla wafer crust instead of graham cracker.

Enjoy

Serve this Homemade Pineapple Cream Cheese Pie well chilled for the best flavor and texture. It’s perfect for family gatherings, holidays, or whenever you’re craving an easy homemade dessert with a tropical twist. Enjoy every creamy bite!
