Basic 2 minute Hawaiian pie

[Ron Whitfield]

From my Arizona sunbird friends who will be heading back home (too) soon, Donna Miller gives me this great summer chill treat that is her husband Frank's fave...
You can add anything, like can peaches/etc. to the filling, and whatever toppings.

15 oz can pineapple
8 oz sour cream or plain yogurt
1 1/2 oz instant vanilla pudding
1 butter flavored crumb crust
Mix pineapple w/juice, sour cream/yogurt, add prepared pudding, pour into crust, cover w/whipped cream and top w/sliced almonds and/or shredded (maybe toasted) coconut. Pop into fridge til solid, serve and watch it vanish!
This came out of a local paper decades ago.

Here's a different version
HAWAIIAN PIE
9" graham cracker crust
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c lemon juice
Sliced bananas
1 pkg. Dream Whip prepared according to directions
1 can crushed pineapple, drained

1/4 c maraschino cherries
Mix milk w/lemon juice. Layer sliced bananas on crumb crust, spread milk mixture over bananas. Cover this with layer of pineapple. Then layer of Dream Whip. Sprinkle coconut over top. Then sprinkle nuts over top and arrange cherries on top. Chill several hours.

And this...

Re: Basic 2 minute Hawaiian pie

Thanks for sharing those! That first one looks really good. My mom had a recipe sort of like that she'd make every 4th of July called Ice Cream Pie.

Mix 1/2 Gallon of Vanilla ice-cream with 1 can of frozen lemonade (or pink lemonade). Smooth as much of the mix as you can fit into a graham cracker pie crust. Freeze for 3-4 hours, then serve. Save the remainder of the ice-cream mix to eat.

Or, if you want to get fancy, you can just make the ice-cream mix and crush up graham crackers separately. Serve in martini glasses over the crumbs, garnished with a strawberry or raspberry.
