      • I’m making it Friday night to eat Saturday…How about I let you know? Grin! I’m thinking there shouldn’t be any changes to make other than the food coloring. Unless I want to make it oranger LOL.

          • I made it last night and had some for breakfast. Here’s how I made mine:
            2 9oz Graham Cracker Crusts
            1 12-oz can Old Orchard Pineapple-Orange juice
            2 14-oz cans Sweetened, Condensed Milk
            24oz total Whipped Topping
            2 8oz cans crushed pineapple in juice (drained well)
            Red and Yellow Food coloring

            I made it the same way the instructions say, but added the crushed pineapple and used the entire thing of juice…so I just doubled everything else. Then I split it between the two pie shells…it still nearly overfilled them. But talk about delicious!

            This will be a go-to recipe from now on. I plan on trying a number of different things, possibly using some frozen fruit.

            Here is a that I posted on Facebook.

      I was thinking that a touch of “orange” food coloring would be needed. It is on my “to do” list to make an orange version real soon. What shall I call it? I am thnking “Orange Creamsicle No-Bake Pie”

      You know, Diane, this would be fun to make with kids. Just have to do it when there is plenty of time to let it freeze before serving. Maybe sometime when we have a whole day with nothing to do?

  11. I make a version of this pie but the difference is instead of using grams for crust use crushed Ritz crackers a little sugar and melted butter!! It is the perfect match with the buttery Ritz with a touch of salt is so good with this pie! I also crush a few extra crackers and sprinkle on top!!

    • It is. Just be sure to serve it someplace where you can get it back in the freezer or put it on ice. It will disintergrate quickly if left sitting out at a picnic.
