Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Crust

In a bowl, combine crushed cookies and brown sugar. Stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes while you prepare the filling.

2️⃣ Make the Filling

In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk and lime juice until slightly thickened.

Gently fold in the pineapple, coconut flakes, and toasted nuts.

Fold in the whipped topping and coconut extract (if using) until smooth and fluffy.

3️⃣ Assemble & Chill

Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to fully set.

4️⃣ Decorate & Serve

Top with extra whipped topping, toasted coconut, chopped nuts, and a cherry or pineapple slice for that classic retro vibe.

Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy every creamy bite!
