Description

This Tropical Fruit Potluck No Bake Pie is a refreshing and easy-to-make dessert featuring a creamy pineapple filling set in a graham cracker crust, topped with shredded coconut, pineapple rings, and maraschino cherries. Perfect for warm weather gatherings, this no-bake pie requires minimal prep and chilling time, making it an ideal make-ahead treat for potlucks and parties.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 10 oz. crushed pineapple (about half a standard can, with juice)
  • 3.4 oz. package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 8 oz. sour cream
  • Optional: 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Topping and Garnish

  • 8 oz. can of sliced pineapple rings (drained)
  • 3 oz. sweetened flake coconut
  • 8 maraschino cherries

Crust

  • 1 deep-dish (9 oz.) graham cracker crust

Instructions

  1. Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple with its juice, instant vanilla pudding mix, and sour cream. Stir until the mixture is fully blended and smooth. If desired, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts at this stage for added texture and flavor.
  2. Assemble the Pie: Spoon the prepared filling evenly into the graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to smooth out the top, creating an even surface for the toppings.
  3. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the sweetened flaked coconut over the surface of the pie evenly, covering the filling gently.
  4. Decorate with Pineapple & Cherries: Arrange seven drained pineapple rings evenly around the edge of the pie and place one pineapple ring in the center. Place a maraschino cherry in the middle of each pineapple ring to enhance the presentation.
  5. Chill & Serve: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld. It can be served sooner for a softer consistency but chilling improves the texture and taste.

Notes

  • For a nuttier flavor and crunch, add the optional chopped pecans or walnuts into the filling.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier note and additional protein.
  • If a firmer pie texture is preferred, ensure the pie chills for the full 2 hours or longer.
  • This pie is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • Use well-drained pineapple rings to prevent sogginess of the crust.
