Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe pineapple for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well.
  • Toast the coconut flakes before adding them to the pie filling. This will give them a richer flavor and a more golden color.
  • Don't overcook the pie filling. It should be set, but still a little bit jiggly in the center.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dollop of yogurt.

Conclusion:

This pineapple coconut chess pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of pineapple, coconut, and chess filling is irresistible, and the pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
