- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 1⁄3 cup hard margarine
- 1 1⁄3 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 8 ounces crushed pineapple, drained
- 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed (the small size container of cool whip)
directions
- Graham Crust: Melt margarine and add graham crumbs and first amount of sugar.
- Stir until well mixed.
- Firmly press mixture into a 9 inch pie plate. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Cool.
- Pie Filling: Beat the cream cheese and second amount of sugar until smooth.
- Add pineapple, lemon juice, and salt. Stir.
- Fold in whipped topping.
- Turn into crust and chill.
- To save time I buy the ready made graham cracker pie shells. Then, the rest of the pie takes about 5 minutes to make and even less time to eat!
- Note, I have made the recipe with cool whip lite and lite cream cheese to reduce fat and calories. There is no real loss of taste, and I can have a bigger piece of pie!

<p>I'm currently the manager of a jazz lounge / supper club. I have been married for a little over 12 years. My husband is a blacksmith, yup a real blacksmith. I still enjoy watching him work. Although we live on the outskirts of the city , I would love to move a little further into the country. One day I hope to open a bed and breakfast or a small tea shop...well I can dream about it.<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></p>
