Ingredients

  • 1 9-inch graham cracker crust
  • 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup (173g) crushed pineapple, well drained
  • ⅓ cup (79ml) lemon juice
  • 1 cup (90g) shredded sweetened coconut
  • ½ cup (55g) chopped pecans
  • ½ cup (80g) chopped maraschino cherries, drained and patted dry

Instructions

  • If making the crust from scratch, make it and chill until ready to fill.
  • Add sweetened condensed milk, drained pineapple, and lemon juice to a large bowl. Stir until smooth.
  • Fold in coconut, pecans, and cherries.
  • Pour mixture into prepared pie plate. Chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours.
  • Before serving, garnish with additional pecans and/or cherries

Notes

  • Be sure to only use regular sweetened condensed milk (not fat free) for best results.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and do not omit or substitute – the lemon juice is needed to help the pie set up.
  • Be sure to drain your pineapple well before adding to the mixture.
  • Buy maraschino cherries without stems for easy chopping.
  • If you're making a graham cracker crust from scratch you'll need 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 7 tablespoons melted butter.
