Angel Food Pie tastes like a pineapple cloud. It’s creamy delicious and just melts in your mouth. The delicate pineapple flavor is like a warm sunny day.
The great thing about pineapple is that it’s perfect year around. The sweet citrus just reminds me of a warm sunny day. This Angel Food Pie is like eating a soft and fluffy cloud. It’s quick to put together and is light and delicious. This is a no-bake pie!
It is National Pie Day! There are a lot of days dedicated to different foods, but I let a lot of them go by without giving them a second thought. I don’t know who was responsible for assigning such a thing, but I have to agree that National Pie Day should be a recognized holiday. Angel Food Pie is perfect for this or any holiday.
This recipe was in the archives of my MIL’s recipe box. It was confusing because I’ve heard of Angel Food cake, but never pie. John loves my Pineapple Cream Meringue Pie so I had to give this one a try.
I think I know where this pie got its name. This pie is so light and fluffy that you would swear it was made of clouds and sunshine. It’s quick to put together and is sweet and dreamy to eat. Many of the dishes we make right now are defined as comfort food. This would be the perfect dessert after a heavier meal.
Don’t have time to make it now? Pin it for later!

January 23, 2017 at 3:10 pmwhat is the oven temp and how long do you cook?
Julie Menghini says
January 23, 2017 at 5:25 pmIt isn’t baked Jamie! Just pour it into a baked shell or even a graham cracker crust and then chill it.
