Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
Filling
- 2 cups cool whip
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp rum extract
- 15 oz crushed pineapple, drained well
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
Optional Toppings
- Extra cool whip
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Canned pineapple slices, cut into quarters
- Extra maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
- Form the crust: Pour the mixture into a pie pan, pressing evenly across the bottom and slightly up the sides to create a firm crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Then add cool whip, sugar, rum extract, drained crushed pineapple, and coconut flakes. Mix well until fully combined.
- Assemble the pie: Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to allow it to set and flavors to meld.
- Decorate and serve: Before serving, garnish the pie with swirls of cool whip, a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes, pineapple slices, and maraschino cherries for an extra festive look and added flavor.
Notes
- Ensure pineapple is well-drained to avoid a soggy crust.
- Chilling time can be extended overnight for better texture and flavor melding.
- To toast coconut flakes, bake them on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Use cream cheese softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
- This pie is best served cold and within 2 days of preparation for optimal freshness.
