easy blender tropical pie
The day I created this I was really hungry for an ice cream pie with crunch! However, I wasn't in the "fast lane" mood for grocery shopping, or hours of prepping and baking. Sweet and simple was all that was needed! This recipe follows that code: Fast, easy, and full of chilled sweetness, density and rich flavors. On a lazy day, it was close as I could get to crunchy ice cream pie without the ice cream. The cookie layer gives the pie a real boost in taste and texture. Busy moms and kids will love this pie

How To Make easy blender tropical pie
-
Step 1Crush cookies in blender and transfer to a bowl; add melted butter, milk as needed and blend into crumbs. Pat portions of the cookie mixture to cover (layer) the bottom of 9" pie plate or a removeable bottom cake pan. (Reserve remainder of crumbs for the top of pie.) Store crust in refrigerator to chill while preparing filling.

Step 2In a blender, whip together cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 tbs. pineapple juice, and vanilla until well blended. Add drained pineapple and cream of coconut; blend ingredients until mixed and fairly smooth. Transfer filling to a bowl and fold in cool whip. Stir in 1/2 cup of nuts.

Step 3Pour filling into crust. Sprinkle tops of filling with remaining nuts and cookie crumbs. Chill at least 4 hours in freezer or over night. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
