Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 graham cracker crust
Filling
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
- 15.25 ounces crushed pineapple, well drained (1 can)
- 1 cup maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon maraschino cherry juice
- 1 ½ cups whipped topping
Garnish (optional)
- Additional whipped topping
- Additional maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the sweetened coconut flakes, well-drained crushed pineapple, chopped maraschino cherries, chopped pecans, sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and maraschino cherry juice until well combined.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping to preserve its light and fluffy texture, then pour the filling mixture evenly into the graham cracker crust.
- Chill and garnish: Top the pie with additional whipped topping and maraschino cherries if desired. Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow it to set and develop flavors before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the crushed pineapple and maraschino cherries well to prevent the pie from becoming soggy.
- This pie is best served chilled and keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can substitute the pecans with walnuts or omit nuts altogether if preferred.
- If you want a firmer crust, chill the graham cracker crust before adding the filling.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice can be used but may alter taste slightly.
