Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated pie crust
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 4 egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup sugar, plus 1/3 cup
- 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple in heavy syrup, undrained
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Roll the pie crust on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Put the crust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate; fold the edges under and crimp. Prick the bottom and sides of the pie crust with a fork. Bake until the crust is lightly browned, about 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, soften the gelatin in cold water; set aside.
In the top of a double boiler, combine the eggs yolks and 1/3 cup of sugar. Add the undrained pineapple and lemon juice. Cook over simmering water, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the softened gelatin mixture and let cool for 30 minutes.
In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until foamy. With mixer running, gradually add the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until soft peaks form, then fold it into the cooled pineapple mixture. Spoon the pineapple cream into the baked pie shell and freeze until set, about 4 to 6 hours.

This recipe was delicious! It was exremely easy to follow, I am not the best cook I am just starting to experiment, but this recipe was so easy and delicious! After I followed freezing the pie after putting it all together, I let it thaw out in the fridge and eat it thawed out. It is so yummy! The whipe cream and pineapple mixture is perfect and creamy together. I like it frozen too, but if you eat it thawed out it is so much better!

Another great recipe Paula. I followed the recipe just as it is. I let the pineapple and egg mixture cook but it only thickened a little. When I added the gelatin, I placed it in the refrigerator until I was ready to mix. I also used 2 graham cracker crusts instead of the regular pie crust. Came out perfect. So light and delicious. Next time, thinking of adding some walnuts or pecans to the mixture.

Not supposed to fold in the egg whites. Save those for another day. You are supposed to fold in the whipped cream.
