Ingredients
Gelatin Mixture
- 1 box Pineapple Gelatin (3 oz)
- 1 cup Boiling Water
- 1 cup Ice
Pie Filling
- 8 oz Frozen Whipped Topping (thawed)
- 20 oz Pineapple Chunks (drained)
Crust
- 1 Graham Cracker Pie Crust
Instructions
- Dissolve Gelatin: In a medium bowl, mix the box of pineapple gelatin with 1 cup of boiling water until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Add Ice: Stir in 1 cup of ice to the gelatin mixture until the ice is fully melted to slightly cool the mixture.
- Refrigerate Gelatin: Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill for about 20 minutes, allowing the gelatin to start setting but still being pourable.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Remove the gelatin mixture from the fridge and gently fold in the thawed whipped topping to create a smooth, fluffy filling.
- Add Pineapple Chunks: Fold in the drained pineapple chunks carefully so they are evenly distributed throughout the filling without breaking up the fruit too much.
- Assemble Pie: Transfer the entire mixture into the graham cracker pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Chill Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to allow it to fully set and chill.
- Serve and Garnish: Optionally garnish the pie with extra whipped cream, maraschino cherries, and additional pineapple chunks before serving to enhance presentation and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the pineapple chunks are well-drained to prevent the pie from becoming watery.
- For best results, chill the pie overnight to fully set the gelatin filling.
- This pie is best served cold and consumed within 2 days for freshness.
- Use a pre-made graham cracker crust for convenience or make your own for extra flavor.
