- Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated into the mixture.
Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust and spread it out evenly with a rubber spatula.
- Add whipped cream around the border of the pie if liked and/or maraschino cherries. You could also sprinkle some ground spice around the border or some finely chopped nuts.
Chill for Several Hours:
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set.
- Once set, slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Drain the canned pineapple: Drain the pineapple tidbits or crushed pineapple very well, using the back of a wooden spoon to push it against the sieve. If there's any moisture left, your pie might come out watery.
Room temperature cream cheese: You'll find it easier to mix when softened, so give it 45 minutes on the counter to come to room temperature.
Chill for several hours: Chill the pie for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, so it sets perfectly.
