Prepare the Bananas:
Begin by placing the banana slices in a small bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and gently toss to coat the banana slices evenly. This helps to prevent browning and adds a hint of brightness to the pie. Set aside. -
Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the sweetened condensed milk. Gradually dissolve the soft drink mix (Kool-aid) into the condensed milk, stirring until completely blended. The soft drink mix adds a hint of flavor and enhances the tropical vibe of the pie. -
Mix in Fruit and Coconut:
Gently fold the well-drained crushed pineapple and sweetened shredded coconut into the condensed milk mixture. Ensure the fruit and coconut are evenly distributed throughout the mixture for a balanced flavor in every bite. -
Incorporate Bananas:
Carefully fold the lemon-coated banana slices into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking apart. -
Add Whipped Topping:
Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The whipped topping adds a light, airy texture to the filling, enhancing its creaminess. -
Assemble the Pie:
Spoon the prepared filling into the graham cracker pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Make sure the filling is evenly distributed and well-packed to ensure a uniform texture once chilled. -
Chill the Pie:
Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. This chilling time allows the pie to set properly, giving it a firm yet creamy texture that’s perfect for serving. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once chilled and set, slice the pie into generous servings. Enjoy the tropical flavors and creamy texture with family and friends for a delightful dessert experience.
