@Mom2Dogs - I am not a graham cracker crust fan either. Keebler makes a shortbread crust that I bet would work for this. Sometimes they are hard to find.

@ceekay ....now shortbread...I can do that! Is it a frozen item, similar to a pillsbury pie crust? ..I usually make my own crusts but the shortbread sounds delicious.

@Mom2Dogs - it is in the same place as the graham cracker crusts. All made and ready to use! I use them for a pineapple pie recipe from Mr. Food. Hope you can find the crusts. I have gotten them at Walmart and Publix.
I think this link is ok and won't get poofed.

Here is another version:
Millionaire Pie
Inspired by Furr's famous Millionaire Pie. With a pecan crust and smooth pineapple filling, this version tastes a MILLION times better than the original!
Adjust an oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, process cookies and pecans into fine crumbs. Add butter and process until combined.
Using the bottom of a measuring cup, pack crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
Bake until lightly browned and fragrant, about 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
In medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook drained pineapple, 1/4 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally until the pineapple is lightly browned and the liquid evaporates, about 15 minutes.
In a food processor, process pineapple mixture until smooth, about one minute. Set aside. In medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
In medium sauce pan, combine gelatin and 1/2 cup of pineapple juice concentrate. Allow to sit until the gelatin softens, about 5 minutes. Cook over medium heat until the gelatin dissolves and the mixture is very hot but not boiling, about 2 minutes.
Whisking vigorously, slowly add the gelatin mixture to the egg yolks. Return the yolk mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup pineapple juice concentrate and processed pineapple mixture. Pour mixture into a bowl and refrigerate until set, about 1 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, in a standing mixer, whip heavy cream with remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar on medium-high speed to stiff peaks, about 3 minutes.
Working with 1 cup of whipped cream at a time, fold 2 cups whipped cream total into chilled pineapple mixture. Scrape mixture into cooled crust and smooth the top.
Top with remaining whipped cream. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

@Mom2Dogs When I was quite young, I remember the mixture I posted put in merangue cups. If it was my childhood, that it would have been folded with real whipped cream.
You could easily surve this in a champaign or small wine glass with a few chooped nuts on top. Don't use the crust or use a cool baked pastry. It would be lovely!
