📖 Variations
- Use a pre-baked flour pie crust shell in place of the graham cracker crust
- Substitute cool whip for the heavy whipping cream
- Substitute coconut extract for the vanilla or rum extract.
- Chop up some maraschino cherries and stir them into the filling mixture with the pineapple.
- Powdered sugar can be used in place of granulated sugar.
- Use coconut milk to make coconut whipped cream in place of the heavy cream, this will add to the tropical flavors.
💭 Tips
- For best results, when whipping the heavy cream, be sure the cream is cold and chill a metal bowl to whip it in.
- Save the reserved pineapple juice for consumption.

This recipe looks yummy, but I do not see coconut listed in the ingredients. I am going to assume it's at least 1/2 cup shredded coconut?
