This Pina Colada Pie recipe is a smooth, creamy no bake dessert that tastes just like the classic tropical drink. It's the perfect blend of sweet pineapple, coconut, and a hint of rum flavor in a buttery graham cracker crust.
I love how quick and easy this pie is to make especially when I want something refreshing that doesn't require turning on the oven. It reminds me of the simple cream pies my mom made during the holidays - cool, light, and always a hit at family dinners.

Key Ingredients for No Bake Pina Colada Pie
See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and instrutions.
- Cream cheese: gives the pie a rich, smooth base that balances the sweetness of the fruit.
- Crushed pineapple: adds juicy flavor and texture while keeping the pie light and fruity.
- Coconut: unsweetened coconut adds texture and that signature tropical flavor.
- Heavy cream: whipped to soft peaks for a light, fluffy flling.
- Rum extract: brings the Pina Colada flavor without the alcohol.
- Graham cracker crust: the buttery base that holds everything together.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Use coconut extract instead of rum extract for a family-friendly version.
- Try a shortbread crust in place of graham crackers for extra buttery flavor.
- Replace fresh whipped cream with frozen whipped topping for convenience.
Variations on Pina Colada Pie
- Toasted coconut topping: sprinkle toasted coconut over the chilled pie before serving for added crunch.
- Frozen pie version: freeze for a few hours for a firmer, ice cream-like texture.
- Mini Pies: Make individual portions in small graham cracker crusts for parties or gatherings.
Tips for the Best No Bake Cream Pie
- Drain pineapple well to prevent a runny filling.
- Chill completely (at least 6 hours) to help the filling firm up and slice cleanly.
- Use cold cream for whipping. It creates more stable peaks.
How to Store
Refrigerate covered for up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.

This recipe looks yummy, but I do not see coconut listed in the ingredients. I am going to assume it's at least 1/2 cup shredded coconut?
