No baking means you keep your kitchen cool and your stress nonexistent.
It's genuinely elegant enough to impress but requires almost no technique to pull off.
The texture is somewhere between a mousse and a dream, with little pockets of fruit and nut that keep surprising you.

02 -

Drain your pineapple and cherries completely—I learned this the hard way when my first pie turned into a watery mess.
Don't skip the lemon juice; it's the secret that keeps this from tasting like pure sugar.

03 -

Use a hot knife or dip your knife in hot water between slices to cut through cleanly without dragging the filling.
Make this pie the day before you need it so all the flavors have time to settle and become one cohesive, delicious thing.
