Refreshing Pineapple Cream Pie - So YUMMY!!

I decided that I was really in the mood for a pie.  I went to the pantry and started looking through to see what I could make into a tasty pie.  I found some cherry pie filling and thought ohhhhh I will make a cherry cheese pie, a family favorite. But alas, I did not have all the ingredients.  I started searching again and ended up kinda making up a recipe.

Here is what I used:
I envelope of DreamWhip
1/2 cup milk
1 8 oz. can of crushed pineapples
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
pinch of salt
graham cracker pie crust


Recipe:
1. Make the DreamWhip.  I made it according to package directions using 1/2 cup of cold milk and beat it on low for 4 minutes. Set aside.


2. Beat cream cheese and sugar until it is fluffy.

3. Mix in the pineapples and pinch of salt into the cream cheese mixture.


4.  Fold into the DreamWhip.


5. Pour into the crust.

6. Refrigerate for at least an hour but I find that longer helps it set better.


This is such a great summer dessert.  It is so easy to make!  And it is very refreshing on a hot summer day (even though it is technically still spring - it is already in the 90's here!)
