Heavenly Pineapple Pie

In the heat of summer, one of the best refreshing desserts is a refrigerator pie.  There are lots of different types of refrigerator pies you can make but I thought I would share one of our favorites with you. It is super easy to make and actually makes two pies so you can save one for yourself and maybe carry one to a neighbor.  It is also a recipe that your kids can help you make too. It would be a great "I'm bored" buster!

HEAVENLY PINEAPPLE PIE

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
14 oz. Eagle Brand condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice 
8 oz. Cool Whip
15 oz. canned crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup pecan chips
2 graham cracker pie crusts

Combine cream cheese, Eagle Brand milk and lemon juice.  Beat until smooth.

Stir in pineapple & pecans.

Fold in Cool Whip.

Divide mixture evenly between the two pie crusts.

Chill at least 4 hours in the refrigerator before serving.  (I found it taste even better if you let it sit overnight in the refrigerator before serving.  The flavors seem to blend so much better that way).

Makes 8 slices per pie crust.
