Pineapple Cheese Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/3 cup hard margarine
1 1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
8 ounces crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 pinch salt
2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed (the small size container of cool whip)

Preparation

Graham Crust: Melt margarine and add graham crumbs and first amount of sugar.
Stir until well mixed.
Firmly press mixture into a 9 inch pie plate. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Cool.
Pie Filling: Beat the cream cheese and second amount of sugar until smooth.
Add pineapple, lemon juice, and salt. Stir.
Fold in whipped topping.
Turn into crust and chill.
To save time I buy the ready made graham cracker pie shells. Then, the rest of the pie takes about 5 minutes to make and even less time to eat!
Note, I have made the recipe with cool whip lite and lite cream cheese to reduce fat and calories. There is no real loss of taste, and I can have a bigger piece of pie!
