    Reserved pineapple juice - optional

    Cool whip - or homemade whipped cream. Be sure to have some extra on hand for topping, if desired.

    Quick Facts

    Do pineapple pies need to be refrigerated?

    This no bake pineapple pie does need to be refrigerated because it's made with perishable ingredients. Refrigeration also helps stabilize the pie and keep it firm.

    Is fresh pineapple or canned pineapple better for pineapple pie?

    Pineapple contains enzymes that my cause it to turn bitter, ruining the taste of the pie. For consistent results, use canned crushed pineapple.

    How do I make homemade whipped cream?

    Beat one cup of cold heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoon powdered or granulated sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form. This mean the whipped cream can hold its shape. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to round out the flavor.

    Top tips

    Be sure to drain the pineapple well (use a spoon to press it through a mesh strainer). If the pineapple is too wet, it may keep the pie from setting up firmly. Reserve a tablespoon to add to the cream cheese mixture.

    You can leave the pie out at room temperature for a couple hours, but should be refrigerated promptly if it starts getting too soft.

    Other topping ideas include sweetened coconut shavings, white chocolate chips, and pineapple chunks

    How to store

    To make ahead of time: store in the refrigerator covered, for 2 to 4 hours.

    Store any leftovers in the refrigerator covered for a day or two. Pineapple contains a lot of water, so it's likely to release its liquid in the bottom of the pan. It's safe to eat, but the curst will turn soggy.

    Freezing isn't recommended.

    What goes good with pineapple pie?

    This refreshing pie should be a part of your summer line up, but it's also great all year long, not just on warm days.

    Some delicious recipes to try are instant pot brisket, cherry tomato caprese salad, and Texas baked beans. Round out this scrumptious dinner with this pie for a satisfying dinner everyone will enjoy.
