Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 10-inch graham cracker crust
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup frozen Pina Colada mix, thawed (such as Bacardi Frozen Pina Colada Mix)
- 16 oz whipped topping, thawed and divided
Garnish
- Toasted coconut flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Whip Cream Cheese: In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Mix in Pina Colada: Gradually add the thawed Pina Colada mix to the whipped cream cheese, beating continuously until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
- Incorporate Whipped Topping: Add half of the thawed whipped topping to the mixture and beat it until fully incorporated, resulting in a light, fluffy filling.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the pie filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing it out evenly. Reserve the remaining whipped topping for garnish.
- Freeze the Pie: Place the pie in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly and achieve a firm texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, pipe or spread the leftover whipped topping on top of the pie, then sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes if desired for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use a good quality frozen Pina Colada mix for the best tropical flavor.
- Make sure the cream cheese and whipped topping are softened and thawed for easy mixing.
- To toast coconut flakes, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
- This pie needs to be kept frozen until serving to maintain its texture.
- Leftover pie can be stored in the freezer for up to a week.
