An easy summery pie.
Servings 6
Cost 5
Ingredients
- 1 store bought pie crust
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 2 cans crushed pineapple, well drained (8 oz cans)
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened (114 grams)
- 2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar (240 grams)
- 1 large egg pasteurized (such as Safe Eggs)
- ⅛ teaspoon of salt only if using unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup toasted chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare the crust as directed on the package and let cool.
- Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Beat in the vanilla and the sugar. Fold in the pineapple. Set aside.
- In a second bowl, beat the butter and 2 cups confectioners’ sugar until creamy. Beat in the vanilla, egg and salt.
- Spread the butter mixture over bottom of the shell, then spread the pineapple mixture over the butter mixture.
- Sprinkle top with toasted pecans.
- Chill overnight.
Notes
If you plan on using a homemade crust in a standard 9 inch size pie shell, you can keep the butter/sugar mixture the same and increase the whipped cream/pineapple mixture by 1 ½. As written, this works best in a smaller size pie shell such as the ones you find on the baking aisle.
