Pina colada cream pie is a scrumptious taste of the tropics.
Pineapple and coconut are two of my favorite sweet flavors individually. When you combine them it is beyond words.
As a rule though, I am not a fan of pina colada flavored things because I find them cloying. The exception to this are pina colada cream pie and my pina colada poke cake.
If you are a fan of pina coladas or just coconut in general today’s Sunday Supper is for you. Cosmopolitan Cornbread is our fabulous host this week. Thanks so much for your time.
I adapted my coconut cream pie recipe because most of the other pina colada pies I found use cream cheese. While I like cream cheese, I am the only one who does.
I had meant to pick up some coconut milk to use for part of the milk and forgot. I am fairly certain you could use half coconut and half regular milk.
Be sure to save the juice from the pineapple for Hawaiian chicken. Yum!Pina Colada Cream Pie #SundaySupper
