This Pina Colada Pie is definitely a new favorite of mine! It’s so light and summery, and the pineapple and coconut flavors are TO DIE FOR! I’m in love with it.
If you like pina coladas, you definitely have to make these Pina Colada Cupcakes too!
Pina Colada Pie
Today, this pie is for a celebration! The guest of honor is a big fan of all things coconut and tropical, so pina colada is perfect. We are celebrating a virtual baby shower for Zainab of Blahnik Baker! Yay!
I’ve been following Zainab’s blog for some time now. She has some of the most beautiful treats (like this Coconut Lemon Layer Cake, Pink Velvet Cupcakes and this AMAZING minion cake). I finally got the chance to meet her in person back in February at the Food Blog Forum conference at Disney World. It was that weekend over lunch that she told us she was (see her post Beyond the Oven: A Bun in the Oven).
Exciting!
She is so sweet and I’m so excited for her. What a crazy new adventure! And she’s due in a month!
So we are celebrating with pie. And this is not just any 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. 🙂
And be sure to check out some of the other tasty food that people “brought” to the shower! It all looks so good!

I just love how festive this pie is!
This pie is absolutely fantastic!
Celebration pie is the best kind of pie! This is just gorgeous, Lindsay! I’m loving all the layers. Thank you so much for being a part of Zainab’s baby shower!
This is precisely the kind of thing I’ve been craving during this heat!
Such a perfect summer pie! It looks incredible!
Look at those layers of flavors! Love this delicious summer time dessert!
This pie looks amazing!! I especially love how deep it is!
Que delicia de pay, voy a intentar prepararlo espero que me quede igual, me encantan tus recetas gracias.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a pina colada, so long that it was before I finally warmed up to coconut and eventually fell in love. I have made a pina colada inspired smoothie since those coconut-fearing days and it was quite tasty. I’d love a slice of this pie!
Pina colada in a pie is much more exciting than in a drink. I could get down with this! Great choice for a coconut lover like Zainab, Lindsay!
Whoa this is awesome! Love the cherries on top. So pretty. And absolutely PERFECT for Zainab! So glad we can do this virtual shower today!
A pina colada pie?! Talk about amazing! All these creations you whip up are always perfection Lindsay. This one included! I want to grab my fork and dive right in!
You do not have to beg me to make this PIE! It’s just everything a pie should be!! Thank you so much for the shower.
Yay! So glad you like the pie and the shower! Congrats again girl!
What a glorious looking pie!
This is the perfect tropical pie! Gosh every bit of it sounds amazing!!
The filling is fantastic! Just like the decoration.
Mmm that looks like a scrumptious pie! Such a perfect flavor for the summer 🙂
I just got back from my honeymoon so this pie is a perfect way to get some of that tropical drink tastiness back in my liiife
OoooOOOOooooo the flavors of this pie are totally calling to me!! I love pina colada flavors, but even more so when they are in dessert form!
Zainab is such a sweet person, you made a great recipe for her baby shower that I know she’d love! I love the layers in this pie! It looks divine.
Lindsay, you seriously make the BEST desserts . . like seriously!!!! I love this pie!!!! thank you so much for joining the celebration!!!!
My favorite indulgent drink in pie form – I think I’m in heaven! This pie is incredible!!
This pie looks gorgeous! Love the filling! Perfect for a celebration! pinning!
This pie is absolutely breathtaking, Lindsay! A pina colada in pie form? Such a delicious and brilliant idea! Love all those gorgeous layers! This is perfect for Zainab’s shower!
This looks out of this world! I love all the layers!
Lindsay, I absolutely love the layers you have there in this cake. Can you send over a slice??
I was wondering, would this pie be alright without the rum?? Thanks
Definitely! You can just leave it out.
Is there something you could subtitute for the coconut rum?
You can actually just leave it out.
Could this be made with a graham cracker crust instead?
That should be fine.
This sounds delicious – it went right into my dessert Pins! I do have a question, though. Should step 6 be to stir in Cool Whip, not whipped cream?
I have updated it to be more clear. I hope you enjoy it if you give it a try!
