I don’t know about the rest of the country, but Spring has most certainly arrived here in California. Our fruit trees are in full bloom, my Hydrangeas are starting to flower, and the sun is shining…well, most of the time anyways 🙂 As Spring approaches, I find myself wanting to spend more and more time outdoors. It’s hard to stay inside when I can be out in the gorgeous weather enjoying my garden.
You know what’s better than enjoying my garden though? Enjoying it with friends. I’ve noticed that the older I get, the less time I take for my friends. Sure, I see them on Facebook, or catch them at school drop-off, but actually spending one on one quality time? Yeah, it’s not happening nearly often as I would like.
As you may have guessed, the way I show people I care is by making them something special to eat and enjoy. It’s in my blood. I decided this past week to have a special friend stop by and enjoy my blossoming garden with me and I decided to make pie 🙂 It could have just as easily been cookies or cake or even a cup of coffee, but I’d been wanting to try this particular pie for some time and now was my opportunity to see if it tasted as good in my mouth as it sounded inside my head.
It did.
You guys are well aware that I’m a coconut fanatic (I get it from my Dad) and one of my favorite flavor combinations is pineapple and coconut or pina colada. I’ve made bread, smoothie, fudge, fluff – you name it – I’ll take pina colada anyway I can get it.
Today’s pie has all the classic pina colada flavors – pineapple, coconut, and rum in the form of rum extract. Every time I open up that bottle of rum extract I think to myself, “Trish! Why are you not making more recipes with this stuff!” It’s seriously amazing. Buy some. Stat.
I am calling this pie a Pina Colada Cream Pie because it is made with cream cheese and heavy whipping cream. A can of crushed pineapple and some coconut and you’re good to go. I made my own graham cracker crust but if you’re in a pinch, a store-bought crust will do just fine.
I topped the pie with whooshes of Reddi-wip and toasted coconut. It’s truly divine. A quick whoosh of Reddi-wip has only 15 calories and is made with real cream! I was happy to send my friend home several slices of pie for her to share with others. Why? Joy is meant to be shared and the effect is catalytic. Sharing with other brings joy to you and the recipient so when they share it forward, the joy just continues to spread. It’s beautiful…and delicious! Food that tastes this good is just meant to be shared!

So glad you both enjoyed it!

Hi All! Just a note to say you can successfully make this pie vegan! I substituted Tofutti brand non-dairy cream cheese (probably any brand would work) and instead of beating heavy whipping cream I used CocoWhip which is like a coconut-based CoolWhip. Everything else works the same! Though, I would reduce the sugar by a small amount since the Cocowhip is sweetened already. Mine was on the verge of being too sweet.
Thank you for this recipe!

Never use Reddi-Whip on a whole pie or to take home… only if you are eating it immediately…. it will turn to liquid and ruin your pie . For long term use sweetened real heavy whipping cream whipped stiff to peaks or even Cool Whip holds up better.

Years ago, I discovered Kahlua Coladas while vacationing in Florida. Incredibly, it tasted better than Pina Coladas. So, I will use your recipe to make a Kahlua Colada pie. Thank you!

I am most definitely intrigued Beverly! I need to try this!
Renee says

So here’s my redneck version of this. Same as the recipe above but I mix the whipping cream with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and a shot and a half of rum, and leave off the rum extract. I love it! Sometimes I eat the whipped cream and have to do it over so I can fold it into the pie mix. It’s also good with tequila instead of rum.
Will Turner says
forgot to say that I mix the whipping cream in my blender on the lowest speed for about 30 seconds.

LOVE this Will! Sounds so delicious!
