Pina Colada Pie Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine nectar, coconut milk, and 1 teaspoon rum extract. Sprinkle pudding mix over liquid and whisk for 2 minutes. Fold in coconut and 1/2 of the whipped topping.
• Pour into pre-baked pie crust and chill in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
• Combine remaining whipped topping with 1/2 teaspoon rum extract. Top chilled pie with whipped topping and toasted coconut.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crust: Combine the graham crumbs, butter, honey, and brown sugar in a bowl. Do not over mix as it will make the crust tough.
• Evenly spread the mixture on the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie tin or glass pie dish. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, place on a cooling rack, and let rest.
• For the filling: Combine the cold whipping cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla and whip, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, until peaks form.
• Combine the sweetened condensed milk, diced pineapple, shredded coconut, and 4 ounces of the whipped cream mixture in a 6-quart mixing bowl and whisk well. (Place the balance of the whipped cream mixture in the fridge to keep it stiff.) Once well incorporated, slowly add the Key lime juice in intervals, do not add all at once. The juice will have a chemical reaction with the cream, causing it to thicken. Do not over mix as it will break down the mixture, causing it to become runny. The mixture will begin to thicken (you want it thick).
• Once the crust has cooled, spoon the pie filling into the center of the crust and spread evenly towards the edges with a pastry knife or the spoon. Place into the fridge for 2 hours to completely set up.
• Fill a pastry bag 1/2 way and squeeze dollops of the remaining whipped cream around the border of the cooled pie. Sprinkle coconut chips on top of the whipped cream border. Make a pot of coffee, cut the pie into your desired portion size, and sit down and enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine first three ingredients until smooth. Fold in pineapple, coconut and nuts. Divide and pour mixture into prepared crusts. Refrigerate, covered, until firm, at least 4 hours. If desired, serve with additional whipped topping and cherries.

Steps:

• For Crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 10-inch glass pie dish with foil, overlapping sides. Finely chop first 3 ingredients in processor. Add butter and blend until moist crumbs form. Press mixture firmly onto bottom and up sides (but not rim) of prepared pie dish. Freeze 10 minutes. Bake crust until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Freeze 20 minutes.
• For Filling:
• Spread sorbet in crust; smooth top. Place in freezer.
• Boil cream of coconut in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 3/4 cup, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes. Pour into large bowl. Mix in rum and extract, then 3/4 cup coconut. Cool slightly. Add frozen yogurt to coconut mixture and fold in until blended. Freeze until semifirm, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Spoon filling over sorbet in pie dish, mounding slightly. Cover and freeze overnight. (Can be prepared 2 weeks ahead.)
• Turn out pie onto platter. peel off foil. Turn pie right side up. Arrange pineapple decoratively atop pie. Sprinkle with toasted coconut. Garnish with mint.

Steps:

• Add the cold water to a small stainless steel bowl; sprinkle the gelatin over the water; let stand so gelatin can dissolve.
• Add two inches of water to a med-size saucepan; bring to a bare simmer.
• Whisk the sugar, eggs, pineapple juice, and coconut milk in a medium stainless steel bowl; place bowl on top of the simmering water, making sure that the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
• Heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture registers 160 on an instant-read thermometer.
• Remove bowl from the pan; whisk in the gelatin mixture.
• Set the bowl over a larger bowl of ice cubes and let the pineapple mixture stand, about 10 minutes, or until it has begun to thicken, whisking occasionally.
• Whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, until soft peaks form.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the pineapple mixture.
• Transfer filling to the prepared pie shell.
• Cover the pie with plastic and refrigerate at least 6 hours or until the filling is completely set (may be up to 1 day).
