Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup coconut cream (not coconut milk)
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Topping:
- 1 cup whipped topping (or whipped cream)
- Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
- Maraschino cherries (for garnish)
- Pineapple slices (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, coconut cream, crushed pineapple, pineapple juice, lime juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the pineapple-coconut mixture until everything is fully incorporated and light.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, spread or pipe the additional whipped topping over the pie. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes, maraschino cherries, and pineapple slices for a tropical touch.
