Pina Colada Pie and Other Pina Colada Recipes

If you like pina coladas, then today is your day. It’s National Pina Colada Day, so let’s all shout hooray and eat a piece of pina colada pie!

If I am gonna waste my calories on a drink, then it better be a pina colada! There is just something magical that happens when pineapple and coconut come together.

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!
