Easy Jell-O® Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 (3 ounce) package cherry-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O(R))
1 cup vanilla wafer cookies, or as needed
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

Preparation

Mix pineapple, sugar, and eggs together in a saucepan; bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking until mixture thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and stir gelatin mix into pineapple mixture. Set aside to cool.
Line a pie dish with enough vanilla wafers to cover bottom.
Beat milk in a large bowl using an electric mixer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir gelatin mixture into whipped milk and pour over vanilla wafers. Refrigerate until set, about 8 hours.
