Tropical Pumpkin Pie

Tropical Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Pumpkin pie is the poster child of desserts for the winter holiday season. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t smell or eat pumpkin flavored foods without associating it with the holidays. However, the Tropical Pumpkin Pie brings a little something different to the table. While still enjoying the traditional pumpkin pie taste we know and love, this pie is also infused with coconut and pineapple topping, stimulating our taste buds in a tropical, yet heavenly combination.

Prep Time: 30 min
Total Time: 3 ½ hours
Servings: 8

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 can (15 oz each) solid-pack pumpkin
• 1 can (12 oz each) evaporated milk
• 1 cup flaked coconut
• 1 unbaked pie crust (9-inch)
• 1 can (8 oz each) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted
• Reddi-wip Original Dairy Whipped Topping

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine sugar, cinnamon, ginger and salt in small bowl. Beat eggs in large bowl with wire whisk. Stir in pumpkin and sugar mixture. Gradually stir in milk until blended. Stir in the 1 cup coconut. Pour into pie crust.
• Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake 45 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, combine pineapple and cornstarch in small microwaveable bowl or measuring cup until well blended. Microwave on High 1 minute, or until thickened and bubbly, stirring after 30 seconds. Cover; refrigerate while pie is cooling. Spoon evenly onto center of cooled pie, leaving some pumpkin around edge visible. Sprinkle with the toasted coconut. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Cut pie into 8 slices, and top each slice with a serving of whipped topping just before serving.
