Notes

This pie requires no baking, making it quick and easy to prepare.
Ensure pineapple is well drained to avoid a watery filling.
Chilling overnight enhances the flavor melding and texture.
For a nut-free option, omit pecans or substitute with chopped toasted coconut.
Use full-fat whipped topping for the best creamy texture.
Garnish can be customized with extra cherries or toasted coconut flakes.
