Pineapple Cream Cheese Pie Recipe

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice, then mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate it.
5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow it to set while you prepare the pineapple topping.

Step 3: Make the Pineapple Topping

1. In a saucepan, combine the drained crushed pineapple, sugar, and cornstarch.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes).
3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
4. Let the topping cool to room temperature before spreading it over the cream cheese layer.

Step 4: Assemble & Chill

1. Once the pineapple topping has cooled, spread it evenly over the cream cheese layer.
2. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).

🍽️ Serving & Storage

• Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing treat!
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• For a frozen version, freeze the pie (without the topping) for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge before adding the pineapple topping and serving.
