Ingredients

1 cup crushed pineapple undrained
1 cup cold water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 large eggs separated
1 baked pie crust 8" for full pie, 9" for thinner pie
Cool Whip 8 ounces

Instructions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the undrained pineapple, water, sugar, salt, cornstarch and egg yolks, stirring constantly. 1 cup crushed pineapple, 1 cup cold water, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 large eggs
Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat slightly and let the mixture cook until it has thickened. It should be about the texture of a very soft pudding.
In a small bowl, beat the egg whites until they are frothy and thick. Add the egg whites to the pineapple mixture while it is hot. Fold it in to mix.
Pour the pie filling into the baked pie shell. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours. 1 baked pie crust
Before serving, top the pie with Cool Whip. Slice and serve cold. Cool Whip

Notes

This fits in an 8" pie plate, but the pie will be very full. A 9" pie plate gives a little more space for the whipped cream. The pie is shown as it looks in an 8" pie pan.
