Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Crusts - Start with two baked 9-inch pastry pie crusts. Ensure they are completely cooled before filling to avoid a soggy bottom.
  2. Step 2: Make the Filling - In a large mixing bowl, cream together 2 cups of sifted powdered sugar and the softened butter until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add Eggs and Flavors - Add in the eggs, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Incorporate the Cream - In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with 1/2 cup of sifted powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the butter-sugar mixture.
  5. Step 5: Add Pineapple and Pecans - Fold in the crushed pineapple and chopped pecans, distributing them evenly.
  6. Step 6: Assemble the Pie - Spoon the filling into one of the baked pie crusts, smoothing the top. Place the second crust on top and press down slightly.
  7. Step 7: Chill the Pie - Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Notes

  • Use light cream cheese instead of butter for a lighter option.
  • Substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds for different flavors.
  • For gluten-free, use a gluten-free pie crust.
