Here's another dessert recipe...sounds great!! Thanks, Elizabeth!!
Pina Colada Pie
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pineapple-coconut nectar or plain pineapple nectar
- 1 cup light coconut milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- 1 (3.4-ounce) box instant Jell-O vanilla pudding and pie filling
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 8 ounces whipped topping, divided
- 1 (9-inch) pie crust, baked
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut, toasted, for garnish
Directions
In a large bowl, combine nectar, coconut milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla 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 vanilla extract. Top chilled pie with whipped topping and toasted coconut.
If anyone is unsure where to get the nectar, you can usually buy it in the specialty foods aisle of any grocery store...typically they have the Jumex brand that looks like it's in a soda can. You may also find it in the alcohol aisle where all the bottles are to make mixed drinks.
