The method

Step by step

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice.
About 1 min
2
Whisk the mixture for about one minute until it visibly thickens.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: The acid from the lemon juice reacts with the milk, causing it to thicken naturally.
3
Add the thawed whipped topping to the bowl.
About 1 min
4
Gently fold the whipped topping into the milk mixture with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to deflate the topping.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Overmixing can make the filling less airy and light.
5
Add the well-drained crushed pineapple, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut to the bowl.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Ensure the pineapple is drained thoroughly to prevent a watery filling.
6
Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
About 2 min
7
Pour the filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
About 2 min
8
Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the filling is firm and fully set.
About 4 hr
Cook’s note: Chilling overnight yields the best texture and makes for cleaner slices.
