This Pina Colada Pie is beyond amazing! Every bite is filled with toasted coconut with a graham cracker crust and a creamy coconut filling with crushed pineapple, crunchy pecans, and maraschino cherries. You can’t go wrong with this coconut and pineapple dessert.
It has been super HOT lately, and I was planning on going to a barbecue. I didn’t want to take the same old veggie tray and was on the hunt for something different and fun. Let’s just say that this Pina Colada dessert recipe was the right choice.

- 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

From where can I buy the whipped topping
Cool Whip or a store’s house brand, for example, Walmart’s brand is Great Value.

Could I use Real Rum?
Idk but I don’t see why not. It’s only 1 tsp.
What is coconut cream ? In a can , or like a pudding ? .. This recipe sounds and looks delicious !! .. Gonna try it for sure !
It’s cream of coconut in a can. You usually find it on the aisle with drink mixers.
Can vanilla replace the rum extract
I used macadamia nuts instead of pecans. I oven roasted then before crushing. Added a bit mo’ island flavor.
I make something similar to this, only you freeze them in cup cake cups.They are called Pina Colada Frosties. They are delicious!

I live in the UK what do you use as an alternative to graham’s crackers as I can’t get them and cannot get full appreciation of these lovely recipes help!!I
Graham crackers in the US are like cookies. I would just pick out a flavored cookie and reduce it to crumbs in your food processor. I’ve substituted Ginger cookies tons of times and those make a great crust!
I believe they are called digestives or digestive cookies/crackers.
What can you use as an altern I’ve to graham’s crackers I can’t get hold of any recommendations please I love the recoes and
I am going to try doubling this recipe and putting it in a 9×13 pan
Maybe snickerdoodle cookies. Could be used or maybe a shortbread cookie would work well.
Definitely going to make this dessert!!!!!!
Can I omit the toasted coconut my husband hates to chew it
My Brit girlfriend said Digestive Cookies would be the best UK substitute for Graham Crackers. 🙂
I used timtam biscuits for the base. No butter just blitzed Tim tams. Makes I nice mild chocolate base. And I included mini marshmallows along with a marshmallow top to the cream. Absolutely delicious
Is coconut cream same as cream of coconut. Unable to find cream of coconut?
