Pineapple Cream Cheese Pie Recipe

Citrus flavors are so refreshing and the ingredients for this no-bake pie are all easy to keep on hand. A simple cream pie recipe to mix together this Pineapple Cream Cheese Pie dessert is enjoyable all year around.

Rich from cream cheese and sour cream, sweet from the instant vanilla pudding and citrus flavors from the crushed pineapple with a thick layer of Cool Whip on top, this cream pie is memorable!

We like the upscale look of two layers in this Pineapple Cream Pie recipe. Another light and fruity favorite is this Mandarin Orange Pie with a single layer of creamy filling.

We’re big fans of quick pies like our No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake, Oreo Peanut Butter Pie and Black Forest Pie. It’s nice to have a non chocolate dessert option that is lighter on the dessert table like this cream cheese pineapple pie.

Why This Recipe Works

  • Only takes 10 minutes to mix up
  • Can be made a day ahead of the party to save clean-up and prep time before the big meal
  • Perfect to add variety to holiday dessert tables
  • Citrus flavor is perfect at Christmas dinner, a 4th of July picnic and any time in between
  • This recipe came from an Amish cookbook making it an old-fashioned and favorite cream pie
  • Recipe is super easy to double to make two pies

Ingredients Needed:

Crushed pineapple – a small can works great for a single pie. Look for pineapple in natural juices with no sugar added for a more natural flavor.

Cream cheese – adds a richness that people crave in a cream pie. Philadelphia cream cheese or the store brand work fine since it blends together with other ingredients.

Sour cream – adds a little tang and creaminess that is unmatched. We like the regular sour cream, try to avoid fat free or light to get full flavor in the pie.

Instant vanilla pudding mix – adds a smooth vanilla flavor and balance to this pie. The pudding is activated by using reserved pineapple juice for an extra hint of sweetness.

Cool Whip – or a store brand whipped topping creates the luscious top layer of the cream pie that everybody loves.

Graham cracker crust – we like to use a regular sized purchased crust to save time, but a traditional homemade or refrigerated pie crust can be used.

Ingredients for cream cheese pie on a white counter are sour cream, cream cheese, whipped topping, pineapple, vanilla pudding and graham cracker pie crust

How to Make This Pineapple Cream Pie

Drain pineapple and strain juice into a medium sized mixing bowl. I like to use a strainer to get more juice than I can by just pressing the lid down on the can of pineapple and turning upside down.

Add instant pudding to pineapple juice and use a whisk to stir well.

Mix well.

I like to use an electric mixer to ensure the cream cheese is mixed well.

Use a silicone spatula to clean the bowl and scoop into the pie crust.

If adding flaked coconut it can be stirred into the Cool Whip or sprinkled on top.

Top with defrosted Cool Whip and chill for 2 – 24 hours before serving.

It’s great not to have to worry about bringing a dish home from the potluck or cookout when making this pineapple pie with cream cheese.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

  • Could add coconut flakes to the Whipped Cream to make more of a Pina Colada flavor.
  • Use a store bought graham cracker crust to save time
  • A homemade pie crust works great too if that’s your preference
  • Chilled or slightly frozen pie will be easier to slice and keep layers clean and separated on each piece
