How to Make Hawaiian Chess Pie
- **Preheat & Prep:** Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade).
- **Creamy Filling:** In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, followed by 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- **Tropical Blend:** Gently fold in 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained, and 1 cup (140g) sweetened shredded coconut.
- **Thicken It Up:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch and 1/4 cup (60ml) cold water until smooth. Stir this mixture into the pineapple mixture until well combined.
- **Bake to Perfection:** Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 35-50 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil.
- **Cool & Serve:** Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
