Pineapple Pie From Barbados

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can pineapple chunks
  • unflavored gelatin (one envelope)
  • 8 ounces fat free cream cheese
  • graham cracker crust

Recipe

  • 1 drain pineapple chunks - keep syrup, add water if necessary to make one cup.
  • 2 heat syrup and add gelatine, stir till dissolved - divide in half. keep one half in the pot.
  • 3 to the half in the pot, add cream cheese. stir over heat till melted and smooth. pour into graham cracker crust. chill until firm.
  • 4 once firm, place pineapple chunks on top, and pour on remainder of syrup to glaze. keep pie chilled.
  • 5 alternate method: i had a problem with getting the syrup evenly distributed, and i think that the next time i make this, i will mix the pineapple chunks with the syrup (that's been left at room temp) and put it on as a mixture once the pie is firm. just use a little gentleness when you're putting the pineapple on top.
  • 6 alternate crusts: digestive biscuits, marie biscuits, cornflakes or rice krispies can be substituted for the crust zaar has several variations of a graham cracker crust available; use one of these to make the crust if you don't like premade crusts or as a template for using the other things mentioned.
