🔥 Step-by-step instructions:
Step 1: Make the graham cracker base
Crush the graham crackers (or digestive biscuits) into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a resealable bag and rolling them with a rolling pin.
Combine crumbs, sugar and melted butter in a bowl. Stir until mixture resembles wet sand.
Press mixture into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure to evenly coat the bottom and sides.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Prepare the cream cheese filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add vanilla extract and lemon juice, then mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
With a spatula, carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate it.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pie. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate for 1 hour to set while you prepare the pineapple filling.
Step 3: Make the Pineapple Filling
In a saucepan, combine the drained crushed pineapple, sugar, and cornstarch.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Let topping cool to room temperature before spreading over cream cheese layer.
Step 4: Assemble and Refrigerate
Once pineapple pie has cooled, spread evenly over cream cheese layer.
Cover pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).

Cut into slices and serve chilled for a refreshing treat!
