    Pina Colada Pie

    This is not just any pie — it’s a celebration pie. It really is so darn good, you will not want to share. I really, really didn’t. But I’m working on my fitness and eating a whole pie myself just wasn’t in the cards. However I did eat more of this pie than most things I’ve made recently. #truth

    The filling is super light, made with cream cheese and Cool Whip. You could definitely use homemade whipped cream too. The filling is flavored with coconut extract and little coconut rum. Not exactly baby friendly, I know, but it’s pina colada! You could totally leave it out though and add a touch more extract.

    The pineapple filling is next. OMG.

    I actually had to make this pie multiple times because of this layer. The first time it wasn’t thick enough and the pie was more coconut than pineapple, thus missing out on the perfect combination of two wonderful flavors that make a pina colada.

    The light, mousse-y coconut layer with the fruity pineapple layer is just to die for. I know I keep saying that, but really.

    The only way to make it better was to top it with fresh whipped cream flavored with a little bit of pineapple and coconut.

    You really have to make this pie. It’s begging you to make it. I’M begging you to make it. I mean, it’s for a good cause. It’s a celebration pie. 🙂

      I didn’t leave any stars because I have a question before I make this. Do you think the pineapple filling could be done in the microwave?

      1. Lindsay

        In theory, it’s possible. But you have less control with the microwave and in order to keep stirring it, you have to remove it from the heat over and over. You run the risk of under heating it and it not being thick enough, or over heating it and it being too thick.
