How to Make Strawberry Pineapple Cream Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prebake your pie crust according to package directions and let cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 cups whole milk and 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly without stirring.
- Stir in 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, well-drained, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled pudding mixture.
- Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pie to set.
- While the pie chills, prepare the strawberry glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup water.
- Simmer over low heat for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat and puree using an immersion blender or food processor.
- Return the puree to the saucepan. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch.
- Gradually whisk the sugar/cornstarch mixture into the strawberry puree. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and clear (about 1-2 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in a few drops of red food coloring, if desired, for a richer color.
- Slice 2 1/2 cups strawberries in half.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries cut-side up in a circular pattern on top of the chilled pie.
- Spoon the strawberry glaze evenly over the berries.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow the glaze to set and the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
