This pie is YUMMY. It uses a lot of utensils when you're making it but it is totally worth it when you taste the results. Yes, I would make this again

This recipe was awesome! The crushed pineapple in it was okay, but next time I think I will use bigger chunks of pineapple. Overall, great recipe though and can not wait to make this in the future.

YUMMY! Made this for my fiance and I, and we both loved it! It actually held together better than I thought it would, but even if it was falling apart, it still would have been delicious. :)

The pie was good but what I didn't like is the cream cheese layer did not harden. I even put the pie in the freezer for 2 hours and as soon as I took it out to cut and share, it completely came apart. If I make it again I will defintely add geletine to this layer.
