Crust
- 1 ½ cups crushed cookies or graham crackers
- 5 tablespoons melted butter
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or well-drained canned
- ½ cup chopped pecans or nuts
- Prepare the Crust: Begin by crushing your cookies or graham crackers finely, then mix them with melted butter until crumbly but holds together when pressed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your pie dish to create a solid base, setting it aside to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Whip the Filling: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk, beating until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping to lighten the mixture and then stir in the pineapple chunks and chopped pecans, making sure everything is evenly distributed.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the luscious filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Cover your pie with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours — overnight is best to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, consider sprinkling extra chopped nuts or cookie crumbs over the top for added texture and visual appeal. Slice generously and enjoy the creamy, crunchy, sweet experience!
Notes
- Chill Time Matters: Letting the pie set overnight ensures the filling firms up and flavors deepen.
- Softened Cream Cheese: Make sure cream cheese is fully softened for a smoother filling with no lumps.
- Use Fresh Pineapple: Fresh or well-drained canned pineapple gives the best texture without watery filling.
- Press Crust Firmly: Firmly pressing the cookie crust helps prevent crumbling when slicing.
- Mix Gently: Fold in the whipped topping carefully to maintain the fluffy texture of the filling.
