Have you ever tried a pineapple pie? If you haven’t, you got to give this a whirl. Just a handful of ingredients, and a little time chilling before you can slice and serve.
Let me share some tips and tricks along with answering common questions about making this pineapple recipe. This will help set you up for success when it comes to making your homemade crushed pineapple pie.
What Type of Pie Crust Do You Use
I used a regular flour-based pie crust. You can buy pre-made crust that you layout in a pan, or make homemade pie crust.
The choice is totally up to you. You will pre-bake the pie crust before pouring in the filling.
Can I Use Fresh Pineapple for This Pineapple Pie Recipe
Of course. If you use fresh make sure to chop it up like crushed pineapple in a can. If you find your pineapple creates juice while chopping saves it back to add into the pie as well.
Because canned pineapple has juice, it will affect the texture of the pie to use fresh. You might find you need to add about 1/4 cup pineapple juice to the mixture if it isn’t wet enough. Use your best judgment.
Do You Cook The Pie Filling
Do You Cook The Pie Filling You will heat the pie filling in a pan over the stove. Then fold in the whipped cream once the pie mixture has fully cooled.
If you pour it in while the pineapple mixture is still hot, it will melt the cool whip and turn it to a milk mixture. So make sure to give yourself time to allow the cooked pineapple mixture to cool down.
