Indulge your taste buds with a delightful treat that’s perfect for any summer gathering or cozy night in – Frozen Pina Colada Pie. This recipe is a refreshing twist on the classic cocktail, combining tropical flavors with a creamy, frozen texture for a dessert that will transport you to a sunny beach with every bite.
Ingredients:
– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
– 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
– 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
– ½ cup pineapple juice
– 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
– 2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
– Additional whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
2. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and pineapple juice. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
4. Stir in the shredded coconut and chopped pineapple into the milk mixture. Mix until everything is evenly distributed throughout the filling.
5. Gently fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping into the filling mixture until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.
6. Pour the filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
7. Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Garnish with additional whipped cream and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
Serving Suggestion: Slice the Frozen Pina Colada Pie into wedges and serve chilled for a cool and creamy dessert that will be a hit with everyone. The sweet pineapple flavor, combined with the creamy coconut base, creates a tropical paradise in every bite.
Enjoy this Frozen Pina Colada Pie as a delicious ending to a summer BBQ, a refreshing treat for a girls’ night in, or anytime you want a taste of the tropics without leaving your home. It’s a simple yet impressive dessert that will have your guests coming back for seconds.
