Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 large tub (16 oz) whipped topping, thawed
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained well
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup maraschino cherries, drained, halved
- 1 (9-inch) pre-made graham cracker pie crust
Instructions
- Prepare The Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Fold In Flavors: Gently fold in thawed whipped topping, well-drained crushed pineapple, and shredded coconut until combined; it should look light and airy. (If mixture seems runny, press out excess liquid from pineapple and cherries.)
- Assemble The Pie: Pour the mixture into the pre-made 9-inch graham cracker pie crust, spreading evenly with a spatula until the surface is smooth.
- Chill To Perfection: Cover the pie and refrigerate until firm and set; it should feel solid to the touch. This is crucial for clean slicing. Chill for a minimum of 4 hours, ideally overnight.
- Crown With Cherries: Just before serving, artfully arrange the halved maraschino cherries on top. This adds a beautiful pop of color to your Cherry Crowned Coconut Cream Slice.
Notes
Ensure thorough draining of pineapple and cherries to prevent a runny pie. Chill for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, for proper setting. For a healthier twist, consider using light cream cheese or a reduced-sugar condensed milk option.
