Easy Pie Recipe: Pineapple Pistachio Pie!

Today I’m going to tell you a story about how I came to love a pie. The story starts with all of our fans on Facebook, because if it wasn’t for you (you are a fan, right?) I’d certainly never have gotten to know this pie.

The pie I’m referring to is our Pineapple Pistachio Pie.

 

This pie and I became acquainted on the day I thought I’d share the recipe with you all for National Pistachio Day. I was searching for a recipe I thought you guys would love, and decided on this one.

You guys went…PISTACHIOS over it.

Now, I’ve never had pistachio-flavored anything, so I didn’t understand what about this pie made it so good. But then one day, Patty made it for us in the Test Kitchen and set it out during lunchtime…

All I can say is…I took a bite of that pie, and it was like magic. Rich, creamy, pineapple pistachio magic. I knew I had to make it.

So I did.

If you’ve made one of our recipes before, then you already know how easy they are! This is by far my favorite aspect of the recipes on MrFood.com because, although I love cooking, I don’t always have a lot of time. (I’m not exactly the next Julia Child either.)

Before I begin to cook or bake anything, I always gather all of my ingredients and utensils and place them on the counter. As you can see, I decided to use a prebaked pie crust to make this easy pie recipe even easier! 

First ingredient to go in the mixer is the cream cheese. I beat it at medium speed until it became smooth, occasionally using a spatula to scrape the sides. 

Then I added the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and pudding mix to my fluffy cream cheese.

Blended that for a few minutes until it was nice and smooth. (Again, I scrape the sides to make sure it all blends together evenly!)

In the next step I added the pineapple and walnuts.  

Meanwhile, in another bowl I beat the heavy cream. I don’t have an electric hand mixer, so I just used good old-fashioned (wo)man power. The cream was folded into the pudding mixture. 

All I had left to do was pour it into the crust and VOILA!

Unfortunately, I had to wait until the next day to eat this amazing pie. However, I did happily get a nice taste of the batter. ;P

The next morning my counter top looked like this:

I guess you could say I liked the pie…

After garnishing each one with a few pistachios, I went ahead and happily delivered these pies to my very-willing friends and family members! (I kept some filling in the freezer to eat as ice cream!)
