Frozen Pinkglow® Pineapple Pie
Ingredients:
• 1 cup crushed Pinkglow® Pineapple (about 1 pineapple)
• 8 ounces whipped topping
• 1 package instant lemon pudding
• 1 cup milk
• 2 drops red food coloring (optional)
• 1 9-inch graham cracker crust (store bought or homemade)
Homemade graham cracker crust Ingredients:
• 1 1/2 cups graham crackers (12-14 sheets, finely crushed)
• 1/2 cup butter (melted)
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
Directions:
- Cube your Pinkglow® Pineapple into 1-2 inch cubes, reserving a few small slices of pineapple for the top the pie, if desired.
- Use a food processor or blender to crush the pineapple. Pulse the mixture less if you would like larger pineapple chunks in your pie. Set it aside.
- In a small to medium-sized bowl, whisk 1 cup of cold milk and instant lemon pudding. Whisk until it starts to thicken, then place it in the fridge for 2-3 minutes to finish setting.
- Open the whipped topping and place 1/2 cup of it in a small bowl (set it in the fridge for topping the pie later).
- In a large bowl, mix the crushed pineapple and whipped topping until combined.
- Remove the pudding from the fridge and fold it into the pineapple mixture. Mix until combined.
- Add 2 drops of red food coloring to bring out the pink color of the pie! This is optional.
- Prepare your graham cracker crust, then pour the filling into the crust. (Note: you will have a small amount of extra filling if using a store-bought crust).
- Freeze for 2-3 hours or until the pie is set. Top each slice with your reserved whipped topping and pineapple slices, then enjoy!
