BRING THE BEACH TO ANY HOLIDAY WITH AN ICEBOX PIE THAT'S A PIÑA COLADA ON A PLATE
PAIGE GRANDJEAN
Tropical Obsession

The dynamic duo of every beach bar-pineapple and coconut-does it again. Fresh pineapple is slowly simmered with brown sugar into a thick, caramelized jam. Enlivened with a splash of rum and spread across a buttery shortbread crust, the jam is ultimately layered with a double-coconut custard and piled high with cloudlike coconut cream whipped topping. Served ice cold, this make-ahead pie is guaranteed to steal the show from traditional desserts at your next celebration. Rum shooters optional.

PIÑA COLADA PIE

ACTIVE 40 min.

TOTAL 1 hour, 30 min., plus 6 hours chilling

SERVES 8

The classic tropical flavors of a piña colada cocktail are transformed into a swoon-worthy dessert with layers of silky coconut custard and a caramelized pineapple jam. Adding rum to the hot pineapple mixture burns off the harsher taste of the alcohol while leaving a pleasant kick. Coconut cream adds extra richness to the pillowy whipped cream.

7 Tbsp. (3½ oz.) unsalted butter, divided

2 cups (8 oz.) pure butter shortbread cookie crumbs (such as Walker's) (about 16 cookies)

¾ cup plus ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, divided

1 tsp. kosher salt, divided
