Blue Hawaiian Happy Hour Pie
I’ve been crazy about boozy desserts lately, so I’ve been dreaming up all kinds of new ways to make some of my favorite cocktails into simple desserts.
Yield: Serves 8
Blue Hawaiian Happy Hour Pie
Ingredients:
24 thin chocolate wafer cookies
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 can (14 to 15 oz) cream of coconut
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup blue Curacao liqueur
1/4 cup pineapple rum
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 egg yolks
Sweetened whipped cream
Directions:
Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray. In food processor, place cookies. Cover; process, using quick on-and-off motions, until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter. Cover; process until well blended. Press crumb mixture in bottom and up side of pie plate; set aside.
In large saucepan, mix remaining ingredients except whipped cream with whisk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with whisk, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat. Pour filling into crust. Cool 20 minutes.
Press plastic wrap on filling to prevent tough layer from forming on top. Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
To serve, cut chilled pie into slices. Top with whipped cream. Store remaining pie covered in refrigerator.
