One bite of this and it feels like I'm laying on a beach towel on vacation holding a pineapple
filled with piña colada. It's easy, boozy and it tastes like a tropical vacation
Piña colada delight is the no-bake dessert of the summer. Alright, so let's get started
I'm going to lightly coat our baking dish with some baking spray
Something I like to do is I like to flip over the pan. I like to measure the bottom of the pan because that's like the easiest way to get a measurement
Just cut the parchment straight through, back in, and we're going to lightly spray the bottom of this parchment
Then I'll add this piece. This is going to make lifting and removing so much easier later on
Alrighty, so now let's make our crust. We're going to use some golden sandwich cookies, some butter
So we're going to do 18 sandwich cookies, 17, 18. So we're going to add some salt
Half a cup of coconut. We want is a fine crumb, so this is in good shape to add our butter
And what you're looking for is you want the base to hold its shape when you squeeze it
I'm going to bring this in. Now to press down we're going to use the bottom part of a one cup measure
looking good and while we make our first layer we're gonna pop this into the freezer
we're gonna need some room temperature cream cheese some white rum this is where things
start to get really fun oh our powdered sugar and some salt the blocks of cream cheese always have this like ounce measure So you could always just count like one two three four five
and then I know where to cut. And you go. Now we're gonna add our powdered sugar
some salt, and some rum. That looks really good
Now we're gonna get some heavy cream. Then we want a cup and a quarter
When it starts making these little ripple effects, I always like to check it just in case
It's really easy for heavy cream to go over what it's supposed to be
And I always like to use the whisk to scrape the bottom
Sometimes the top will be nice and whipped and the bottom will still be loose. So I'll give it a good stir and then I'll check
And it's still really soft so I'm going to let it go a little longer. Perfect
Now to this we're going to add 1 cup of our toasted coconut and we're going to gently fold
Now that everything is evenly incorporated I'm going to go grab our crust
We're gonna add everything to the bottom of our crust, and we're gonna gently start to spread
This will pop into our refrigerator. And now we'll get started on our pineapple layer
One of my favorite parts about this dessert is that you don't have to keep washing
the equipment that you're using. We're gonna throw everything right back into where we were making our cream cheese mixture We gonna use some crushed pineapple We gonna bring back our heavy cream One 3 box of Jell pudding mix We going to use some crushed pineapple We going to bring back our heavy cream One three ounce box of jello pudding mix We going to grab a lime half a cup of heavy whipping
cream, and we're going to whip it until stiff peaks. Perfect. We're going to use our crushed pineapple
And with the back of a spoon, I'm going to drain out half a cup of the pineapple juice
We're gonna add the rest of the pineapple and its juices into our bowl
We're gonna add some lime zest. Teaspoons of lime juice. And from the reserved pineapple juice
we're gonna add one tablespoon. Let me give this a quick stir
All right, we're gonna take our Jell-O pudding mix and we're gonna sprinkle this all over the pineapple
I'm gonna give this a quick stir. Remember that whipped cream that we made earlier
Once the powder and the pineapple is completely incorporated, we're gonna add our whipped cream back into the pineapple
And we're gonna gently fold. Now let's go get our crust. Now we're going to gently scoop the pineapple filling
onto our coconut cream cheese mixture. I'm gonna gently smooth it out
Winston's all smoothed out. This is gonna go back into the refrigerator
while we work on our last layer, which is whipped cream. One cup of heavy whipping cream
three tablespoons of powdered sugar, one tablespoon of white rum, and a quarter teaspoon of vanilla extract We gonna whip this up until stiff peaks Let go grab our dessert
Last layer, whipped cream straight on top. Lightly cover it with plastic
This is going to set anywhere from four hours to overnight. Here we go
Now I'm going to sprinkle some toasted coconut on top. Now we're going to take it out
Now for cutting, you want to make sure that you use a really hot knife
You can dip a knife in hot water or you can use a wet kitchen towel and a baby torch if
you have one. Now to finish it off, we're gonna do a few maranchino cherries
She's so cute, look at all the layers. I know I said that it tastes like a tropical vacation
I totally wasn't lying. It tastes just like a pina colada. The toasted coconut and the sandwich cookies
work so well together to create this incredibly delicious face, and the coconut and all the cream
work so well together, and honestly, like, can I taste the rum? Yes
It seriously tastes just like a cocktail. You're going to absolutely love it
And I'm going to absolutely devour all of these pieces of fina colada delight
And I'm not gonna be sorry for it. This is like the best of all the world
It's sweet, it's fruity, it's light because of all the cream. It's so good
I just need you guys to try it. It's seriously that good
