I love the creamy tropical flavour of this Pineapple Pie! If only I could transport myself to some warm beach with each bite. Now that would be something!
Since I’m stuck here in the snow, this pie will have to do. It uses a pre-made frozen crust to save on time. The bottom layer is sweet pineapple followed by a creamy, smooth cheesecake-like topping. It’s so good!
Pineapple Pie
My friend, Becky, came over while I was making a few recipes and she said this dessert was her favourite of the bunch. I let her take the leftover pie home with her. Aren’t I nice friend?

Her boyfriend always texts me and asks if I’m cooking and can I bring him food. I usually cook for my blog about once a week and will try to bring leftovers over to their place if I can. It’s just Bridget and I home now so we can’t eat all the food ourselves.
I don’t often bake with pineapple, but that will have to change. Use canned crushed pineapple versus trying to cut up a whole pineapple. I like easy and the canned stuff is much simpler to deal with!
How to Make Pineapple Pie
It’s a very straightforward pie to make.
Get a large bowl and beat together cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and salt until smooth. Add in eggs, milk and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Set aside.
To make the second layer, stir together cornstarch, 1/2 cup sugar and crushed pineapple in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and let it boil for 2 minutes. Be sure to stir constantly.
Let the mixture cool a few minutes and then pour into your pie shell.
Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the pineapple mixture. Bake for 10 minutes at 400F and then reduce the temperature to 325F and bake an additional 50 to 55 minutes, or until center is set. Let cool before cutting into slices.

I have made many hand pies with pieapple filling but I drain more of the juice off and while it simmers I mix the juice with cornstarch in it and slowly pour it into the fruit till of desired thickness.
Ida Pletz says
When I was a kid mom made a pie like this looks so much like hers got one in the oven can
t wait for it to bake and cool. Made two we are snowbirding lots of neighbors LOL
Terry C says
Im sure we can also use a homemade crust instead of a frozen shell? There is nothing better than scratch crust in my book when making a scratch pie.
Stacie says
Yes, definitely!
Tammy Evans says
Stacie- I make a pineapple casserole my husband loves. I am super excited to make your pineapple pie recipe for him! Thank you girl
Dina C. says
Where can I read the reviews that were from people who tried the recipe?
Marty says
We are vegan. Inwant to make this pie, but need a sub for the two eggs. Any ideas? Agar Agar?
Stacie says
I’m not really sure because I don’t make many vegan recipes. Sorry!
Penny says
I’m wondering if Egg Beaters would work. I use them in all my baking, and they work great.
LuAnn says
Unfortunately, Egg Beaters aren’t an acceptable substitute for those who must or who choose to avoid using eggs as they contain egg whites.
Kim says
Should I let the crust thaw a little first or use it straight from the freezer? Also, a regular crust or deep dish? Please respond.. I’m dying to make one ASAP!! Thanks sooo much!!
Stacie says
Check the directions on the pie crust package. I think the one I used I thawed for 10 minutes on the counter. I like the deep dish crusts.
Jacqui says
The pie crust is not blind baked – won’t it get soggy?
April says
Cream cheese filling is still lumpy. All ingredients at room temperature. Then I tipped the bowl over and spilled half on the floor! We’ll see how it turns out.
Kathy says
Delicious! I made a homemade pie crust but other than that I followed your recipe! Will definitely make again!
