Blueberry Pineapple Pina Colada Pie Recipes

BLUEBERRY-PINEAPPLE PINA COLADA PIE

Steps:

• Roll out and fit pastry into a 9-inch pie pan; sculpt the edge into an upstanding ridge; place in freezer for 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400°.
• In a bowl, combine the blueberries, pineapple, and pina colada concentrate in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cornstarch together in a small bowl, then stir the mixture into the fruit.
• Stir in the rum, coconut extract, and salt; scrape the filling into the chilled pie shell; smooth the top with a spoon.
• Place the pie on the center oven rack and bake for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make coconut crumb topping: add flour, coconut, sugar, and salt to a food processor; pulse briefly to mix.
• Scatter the butter over the top and pulse until the mixture starts to form gravelly crumbs.
• Dump the crumbs into a large bowl and rub between your fingers to form large, buttery crumbs; refrigerate until ready to use.
• Remove pie from oven and decrease temperature to 375°; carefully dump the crumbs in the center of the pie, spreading them evenly over the surface; tamp them down lightly.
• Return pie to oven, rotate 180°; slide a large foil lined baking sheet onto the rack below to catch any spills.
• Continue baking about 30 minutes until juices bubble thickly around the edge.
• If top starts to get too brown, cover loosely with foil for the last 15 minutes.
• Transfer pie to a wire rack; let cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

PINA COLADA PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
• In the bowl of a food processor, grind the cookies and pecans into a fine crumb. Add the coconut, butter and salt and pulse a few more times to combine. Dump the mixture into the prepared pie plate and press the mixture evenly up the sides and along the bottom. Bake until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack until slightly cooled. Leave the oven on.
• For the fresh pineapple layer: Add the pineapple and granulated sugar to a saucepan. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and lime juice, then add the mixture to the saucepan with the pineapple. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking until combined. Continue cooking and whisking until the mixture starts to thicken, about a minute. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool slightly.
• For the creamy coconut layer: In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until very smooth. Add the coconut cream, zest and rum extract and beat until combined and smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
• Spread the pineapple mixture into the cooled crust. Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the pineapple mixture. Bake until the filling is set, 40 to 50 minutes. Tent the edges of the crust with aluminum foil if the crust gets too dark. Remove to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• For the topping: When ready to serve, whip together the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl to soft peaks. Spread the topping onto the chilled pie. Decorate the top of the pie with the coconut.
