3. Cook the Pineapple Topping:
In a saucepan, combine the drained pineapple, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool completely.
4. Assemble and Chill:
Once cooled, spread the pineapple topping evenly over the cream cheese layer. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.
Serving & Storage
Serve chilled for a refreshing, tropical dessert that’s sure to please everyone! Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. For a fun variation, freeze the pie without the pineapple topping for up to one month. Thaw it in the refrigerator before adding the topping and serving.
Final Note
This Pineapple Cream Cheese Pie is a creamy, tangy delight perfect for summer parties, holiday celebrations, or whenever you want a taste of the tropics. Give it a try and savor every bite! 🍍😋
