How to Make the Best Hawaiian Ice box Pie Recipe

The inspiration for this ice box pie comes from years of making pies that don’t require cooking to make. There are always those moments that you need something sweet for entertaining, but need to put the majority of your effort into the meal. Pies like this one look fussy, but they come together in a snap.

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Hawaiian Ice Box Pie: One store bought or homemade 9 inch deep dish graham cracker crust, plain cream cheese, orange juice , orange zest, lime juice, crushed pineapple, cubed banana, shredded coconut, maraschino cherries for the filling and some for garnishing, toasted chopped macadamia nuts, whipped topping and sweetened condensed milk.
• Kitchen gadgets you’ll need: A hand mixer or a stand mixer, measuring cups and spoons, mixing bowls, sharp knife and cutting board and a sheet pan to toast the macadamia nuts.
• The pie crust used in this recipe is an oversized premade graham cracker crust purchased at the grocery store. The filling is generous and too much for a standard size crust.
• How to make homemade graham cracker crust:
  • In a small mixing bowl, melt 1/3 cup salted butter.
  • Add 1 ½ cups crushed graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • Toss together until fully moistened then press onto the bottom and up the side of a 9 or 10 inch deep dish pie pan.
  • Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 15 minutes or just until set.
  • Let cool then fill.
• This ice box pie needs to be made several hours in advance and allowed to chill thoroughly before slicing. It’s ideal for making the night before to give it ample time to chill in the refrigerator.
• I top this pie with toasted macadamia nuts in keeping with the island theme. If you prefer pecans or walnuts either would be a tasty option as well.
• Make a special effort to drain the maraschino cherries and crushed pineapple well to prevent them from breaking down the filling.
• Store leftover Hawaiian Ice Box Pie chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
