How to Make Frozen Pineapple Pie Smooth
Grab your mixer and beat the cream cheese until it’s super smooth and fluffy. Take your time to ensure no lumps remain, creating a silky base for your delightful dessert.
Pour in the sweet condensed milk slowly while mixing. Keep blending until the mixture looks rich and velvety, with a gorgeous consistent texture that promises deliciousness.
Gently mix in the crushed pineapple, swirling it through the creamy mixture. Make sure the golden fruit chunks are evenly distributed for a burst of tropical flavor in every bite.
Transfer the luscious filling into your graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, creating a perfectly smooth surface that looks as amazing as it will taste.
Cover the pie completely and slide it into the freezer. Let it chill for at least 4 hours, allowing the magic of freezing to turn your mixture into a creamy, dreamy dessert.
Pull the pie out and let it sit for 10 minutes. Slice into perfect wedges and add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of mint if you’re feeling fancy.

Description
Tropical paradise meets dessert bliss in this frozen pineapple pie that whisks palates straight to Hawaiian shores. Creamy, tangy, and refreshingly cool, you’ll savor each spoonful like a sweet island escape.
Ingredients
- 1 (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (8 oz / 226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 (9-inch) pre-made graham cracker crust
- 1 (8 oz / 226 g) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- Optional: additional whipped topping
- Optional: pineapple slices
- Optional: fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare Base: Whip cream cheese in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, incorporating sweetened condensed milk gradually to create a uniform, silky texture.
- Blend Filling: Gently fold thoroughly drained crushed pineapple into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the creamy base.
- Assemble Pie: Transfer the pineapple mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, using an offset spatula to level the surface and eliminate any air pockets, creating a pristine, smooth top.
- Freeze Setup: Securely wrap the pie with plastic wrap and position in the freezer’s central compartment for 4-6 hours, avoiding proximity to strong-smelling items.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove pie from freezer 10-15 minutes before serving, allowing it to soften slightly. Slice with a hot water-dipped knife for clean cuts. Optional: Enhance each serving with a delicate garnish of whipped cream, fresh pineapple chunks, or a sprinkle of mint leaves for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Drain Pineapple Thoroughly: Remove excess moisture completely to prevent watery texture and maintain pie’s creamy consistency.
- Avoid Overmixing: Blend ingredients gently to keep the mixture light and prevent dense, tough filling that loses its smooth texture.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure cream cheese is softened for seamless blending and preventing lumps in the final mixture.
- Freezing Placement Strategy: Position pie in the center of freezer away from strong-smelling foods to preserve the delicate pineapple flavor and prevent unwanted odor absorption.
