How to Make Pineapple Coconut Cream Dream Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
  3. In a food processor, pulse 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs until finely ground.
  4. Add ¼ cup (½ stick) melted margarine and pulse until moist crumbs form.
  5. Press crumb mixture into the pie plate to form the crust. Bake for 12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. In a medium saucepan, whisk together ½ cup Splenda (or other granulated sugar substitute) and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
  7. Gradually whisk in 2 ½ cups of coconut milk mixed with enough pineapple juice to reach the volume.
  8. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks.
  10. Temper the egg yolks by gradually whisking in about ½ cup of the hot coconut mixture.
  11. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining coconut mixture.
  12. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  13. Remove from heat and stir in ¼ cup (½ stick) melted margarine. Stir in 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained, and 1 cup shredded coconut.
  14. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
  15. Cover the pie with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
  16. Before serving, if desired, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar substitute to stiff peaks and spread over the pie.
  17. Garnish with fresh pineapple chunks, shredded coconut, or mint sprigs.
