Pineapple cream cheese pie with berries

April 23, 2026

Recipe

This dessert has more healthy fruit than a traditional cream pie and works with any combination of fresh berries.

Serves 8

This dessert is more like a tart than a traditional cream pie. You can use any fresh, unsweetened berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries.

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the sugar. Gently spread the mixture over the graham cracker crust. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours.

Just before serving, spread the crushed pineapple over the cream cheese. Add the berries. Cut the pie into 8 slices and serve right away.

8 ounces fat-free cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 prepared graham cracker crust, about 9 inches in diameter
1 can (16 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple, drained
1 pint berries, rinsed and drained (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries, or a mixture)
