Description
A tropical, no-bake dessert featuring a creamy coconut and pineapple filling, a buttery graham cracker crust, and a hint of rum flavor, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (or homemade)
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup canned pineapple juice (or fresh juice)
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup rum (optional, for flavor)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pineapple chunks and toasted coconut for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk, pineapple juice, rum (if using), and vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined and smooth.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Combine the filling and whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Stir in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the pina colada filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Spread the filling evenly and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the filling has set and the pie is firm.
- Garnish and serve: Once set, garnish the pie with pineapple chunks and toasted coconut, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and add extra pineapple juice for more flavor.
- For extra coconut flavor, top the pie with coconut-flavored whipped cream or make your own with coconut extract.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free graham cracker crust or a crushed cookie crust.
