Pineapple Cream Cheese Pie

The holidays are among us which means it’s time for parties, hosting family & friends, and making delicious holiday treats!  I love the holidays, however it can be overwhelming with all the cooking, decorating, buying gifts, etc.  I try to prepare as much as possible, but there are times when I need to whip up something at the last minute.  For those kinds of dishes I like to make a semi-homemade recipe that saves me time, and tastes delicious.

Pillsbury™ Refrigerated Pie Crusts are definitely one of my go-to products.  They taste like I made the crust, they’re so easy to roll out, and you have a delicious pie crust in a matter of seconds.  I make sure I pick up a box or two when I’m at Walmart so I always have them on hand.  If you don’t need them right away, you can always toss them into the freezer and just thaw them at a later time.  I’ve done it a million times and they always taste delicious, and turn out perfect every time.

Pineapple Cream Cheese Pie

Every year around the holidays, I make a ton of pineapple cream cheese braids for family and friends.  It’s a delicious pastry so I decided to take those flavors and turn them into a pie.  It turned out divine!  On the bottom you have a layer of tart pineapple, then a layer of creamy sweetened cream cheese and it’s topped off with a dollop of Reddi-wip Original Dairy Whipped
Topping.  That little dollop of Reddi-wip adds a dash of sweetness that compliments the pie perfectly.  I pick up a few cans of this at Walmart too.  I not only use it for pies, but also cakes, fruits, and smoothies.
