Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 10-inch, 1 1/2-inch deep pie plate.
- In a blender or with a hand beater, beat all ingredients except coconut for 30 seconds on high or 1 minute.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate.
- Sprinkle the top with flaked coconut.
- Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes.
- Garnish with sliced pineapple and whipped cream, if desired.
- Refrigerate any remaining pie.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even creamier texture, consider using full-fat coconut milk instead of cream of coconut. You can substitute the rum with coconut extract for a non-alcoholic version. If you prefer a sweeter pie, add a touch of sugar to the mixture. Ensure the pineapple is drained well to prevent a soggy crust and achieve the best results in your baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Impossible Pina Colada Pie chilled, garnished with whipped cream and fresh pineapple slices for a tropical touch. It pairs beautifully with a refreshing fruit salad or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a complete meal, consider serving it after a light main course like grilled chicken or shrimp, making it a delightful end to your meal.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate. It will keep well for about 3-4 days. If you want to enjoy it later, you can freeze individual slices wrapped in cling film and then in foil for up to a month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
