Well, in celebration of this outstanding food holiday, I am sharing a new recipe along with a collection of other ones. So be sure to check out the additional recipes from me and the other #celebratingfoodholidays bloggers at the bottom of the post.

Now, this pina colada pie recipe I have for you today is pretty spectacular if I do say so myself. One bite and you will think you have died and gone to pina colada heaven!

It all begins with a regular pie crust that then gets filled with a creamy coconut layer. Next comes an amazing homemade pineapple filling followed by a layer of coconut whipped cream. It then gets completed with a sprinkling of toasted coconut and a maraschino cherry for each slice.

My favorite kind of pie is a coconut cream pie, but I think this is my new favorite! It’s creamy, flavorful and decadent!

Pineapple Filling:
Begin by whisking together sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan. Make sure to set aside 2 tablespoons of juice from the canned pineapple for use later in the whipped cream.

Add the pineapple and water to the saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Let it boil for 1 1/2 minutes before removing it from the heat.

Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of coconut extract and set the mixture aside to cool.

    Coconut Cream Cheese Filling:
    In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, coconut extract, and coconut rum with a mixer. Gently fold in the Cool Whip until well combined.

    Pour the coconut cream cheese filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing it into an even layer. Spread the cooled pineapple filling over the cream cheese layer, ensuring it’s even. Place the pie in the fridge until it becomes firm.

      Whipped Cream Topping:
      In a bowl, whip the whipping cream with a mixer until it begins to thicken and form soft peaks. Add powdered sugar, the reserved pineapple juice, and coconut extract, then continue to whip until stiff peaks form.

      Spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie. Just before serving, garnish with toasted coconut and cherries if desired. Enjoy this delightful Pina Colada Pie, a perfect blend of tropical flavors that’s sure to impress at any gathering!

      How do I toast the coconut for garnishing?
      To toast the coconut, spread it on a baking sheet and place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s golden brown.

      How long does this pie keep in the refrigerator?
      The pie can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure to cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it fresh.

      How do I prevent the pie from becoming too runny?
      To prevent the pie from becoming too runny, ensure that you cook the pineapple mixture until it thickens properly and let it cool completely before adding it to the pie crust.

      Can I freeze this pie?
      It’s not recommended to freeze the entire pie, as the texture may change. However, you can freeze individual slices if you want to save some for later.
