Two-Minute Hawaiian Pie


- SERVES
- 6
- CHILL TIME
- 2 Hr
What You'll Need
- 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple in syrup, undrained
- 1 (6-serving-size) package instant vanilla pudding and pie filling
- 1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
- 1 (9-inch) prepared shortbread pie crust
- 1 (8-ounce) can sliced pineapple, drained and halved
- 8 maraschino cherries, drained
- 2 tablespoons sweetened flaked coconut
What to Do
- In a large bowl, combine crushed pineapple with its syrup, dry pudding mix, and sour cream; mix until well combined. Spoon into pie crust and decorate top with pineapple slices and cherries; sprinkle with coconut.
- Cover and chill at least 2 hours, or until set, before serving.
Test Kitchen Tip
- As strange as it may seem to you, do not make the vanilla pudding according to package directions. Just add the dry pudding mix right in with the other ingredients.
- No-bake pies aren't only easy, they're delicious, too! We also recommend our Millionaire's Pie, Chocolate Milkshake Pie, and Hawaiian Pudding Pie.
- This tropical pie is just one of the many tropical treats we have here at The Mr. Food Test Kitchen.

This dessert sounds so dreamy you'd never think it was so easy to make. I agree with you BeckySue on toasting the coconut...it'll add so much dimension to this already delicious pie. I suppose I need to get out more...because I've never heard of shortbread pie crust before, but I'm thinking maybe crushing up some shortbread cookies and using them as the crust would be ok right?

I have made this pie multiple times. Each time it comes out the same...so good it disappears in an instant!! I make it EXACTLY like the directions call for, except I do not garnish the top. Mostly because I'm in a hurry and this is the fastest, tastiest pie one can make and take. If made right, you would not know there is sour cream in the pie, it just adds consistency. I use whatever crushed pineapple Dole has on the shelf. I put the DRY pudding mix in and whisk it together. It thickens before your eyes, even before you scoop it into the crust. I find shortbread alongside the graham cracker crusts @ almost all grocery stores. One could possibly make and BAKE your own crust if desired. But, cool it before filling. Garnish can be anything you like. This is the easiest and best pie to whip up in a hurry. It's ready to eat in literally minutes, but better if refrigerated to keep its consistency.

I need to cut the sugar, so I used pineapple in in its own juice and omitted the maraschino cherries, but it was still delicious! I also toasted the coconut first a little. I couldn't find a shortbread pie crust, so I used the individual shortbread rounds and simply arranged them in a square pan. The sour cream gives this a nice creaminess and a tang.

Got this recipe from my neighbor but for diabetic. Low fat sour cream, crushed pineapple, (20 oz), lg box of vanilla sugarless instant pudding...graham cracker crust, baked for about 15 min. (holds up better with filling.... Mix sour cream, pudding and pineapple and pour into crust. Decorate with strawberries. I have modified this recipe by using 1 ready made angel food cake, broken into bite size pieces. Use 1 20 oz crushed pineapple , 1 lg. sugarless instant van. pudding and 1 16 oz can pineapple tidbits , all pineapple UNDRAINED. 16 oz low fat sour cream. Add about 1/2 cup milk and stir. Start by putting some cake on bottom of pretty glass bowl. Then some pudding mixture. I then line sides with sliced strawberries (or blue berries) keep layering, finishing with pudding mixture on top. Then flower cut a few strawberries and lay on top. Or blueberries if you like them. I pre fer strawberries because they are prettier. My diabetic friend always requests this for her birthday and I make a punch bowl full for a special fundraiser we have for a children's home I work with.

Thank you for your question! The Test Kitchen has not tried this recipe with other fruits. However, we believe it would work as long as you chop the fruit you are using small since the original recipe uses crushed pineapple. Also please make sure you use the syrup from the canned fruit since that is also part of the original recipe.

I made it using one pkg of vanilla pudding mix (4 serving) and half a pkg of coconut cream pudding mix, since I didn't have a 6-serving pkg on hand.

I made this and it is DELICIOUS. For the crust I could not find a ready made one,so I bought a box of Lorna Doone cookies and made my own crust. As for the pudding it is a large box of instant pudding 5.1 oz. 6-1/2 serving size. For the sour cream if you could't find an 8oz. container just measure 1 cup into your glass measuring cup. I also made it in a 7x11 glass baking pan. That was the right size for two people. If I am making it for a party I will double the recipe and use a 9x13 pan. Will definitly add this to my favorites.

Did you use a large box of instant vanilla pudding, a measured 8 oz of sour cream, and one can of dole cruised pineapple w juices or syrup? Your mixture should have been thick when you poured it into your pie crust. Then put it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or longer.

When I made this today, I noticed that it called for an 8 oz. container of sour cream. I have rarely seen any sour cream containers smaller than 16 oz. and thought you might have added an entire container rather than half...an easy mistake if you just notice 'a container of sour cream'. I also stirred the mixture quite a bit because instant pudding thickens when it is whipped. I hope mine turns out okay (it is in the refrigerator now).

With the size of everything we buy shrinking I checked the weight on the package of Jell-o pudding. Could not find a 6oz box of pudding. So I got a 5.1oz box (large box) and a 3.4oz box (small box) and just added some of the smaller box. Wow what a difference that made!!! I could tell if I had only used the large 5.1oz box of pudding that it would not have set up. Amazing how the little extra dab will do the trick! It should feel firm and start setting up as you mix it together. If you feel it is not just add some extra pudding out of the small box. It is an awesome pie. I even browned my coconut on a piece of foil in the oven and it looks like I just picked it up at the store.

The juice in the pineapple is what mixes with the DRY instant pudding instead of you adding milk to the pudding mix.

I think you needed to add more pudding. The large box of pudding only has 5.1oz in it and this calls for 6oz. Next time just get a small box of pudding and use "some" of it. Just keep adding a shake or two until it starts to get thick. Make sure it is thick before you put it in the pie shell.

I'd use plain Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt. I think the regular yogurt would be too runny and possibly not set right. Greek yogurt would have a consistency closer to sour cream.

If you still can't find one then buy shortbread cookies...I love Archway (great taste and not expensive.) Mash in a zip lock plastic bag add melted butter and press into a pie pan to make the crust.

This sounds wonderful and easy and just delicious. I am a coconut lover and pineapple too. I can't wait to make this as so many people gave me ideas of how I would make mine. I will use pineapple in juice not syrup too much sugar. I will use 1 cup of coconut for inside the pie, I will use coconut pudding, and coconut yogart instead of sour cream and the pie crust graham cracker why bother to bake when you just buy a crust and have this made in a few minutes and chill and everyone should enjoy this. Great recipe for anytime of the year. The only thing I don't like is Maraschino Cherries. Maybe I would put chunked pineapple on top with coconut spinkled and for color put tangerine slices or sprinkle golden raisins on it.

Quick and Easy Shortbread Pie Crust Ingredients: 1 1/4 c flour 1/4 c sugar 1/2 c cold butter Directions: Mix flour and sugar. Cut butter into 1/4 in slices, and then cut into flour with a fork. Knead well and form into a ball. Flatten into pie plate with the palm of your hand, and then flatten against the sides of plate with your fingertips.

We loved this recipe. I used a Pillsbury pie crust (baked) and added two cut up bananas that I soaked in the drained off pineapple juice; I strained it well so not to make the crust soggy, and put the bananas on the bottom, then added the other mixture over top. I also added some chopped up pecans and marchiano cherries on top. Mmmmmgood!
