Directions
Pina Colada Pie
- In separate bowls, take 3/4 cup of the premade Contigo Pina Colada Cheesecake and mix in crushed pineapple, and shredded coconut. Stir well to combine.
- Slack out each dough circle and gently roll it out on a lightly floured surface to ensure it's slightly thinner, if preferred.
- Place about 3 oz of prepared filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative finish or press them with your fingers to ensure they are tightly sealed. Continue this process until you’ve filled all the dough circles.
- In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat approximately 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add a few pies at a time into the hot oil, frying for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried pies from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Brush finished pies with butter and dust with cinnamon sugar for that authentic Sopapilla flavor.
- For the sauce, combine coconut cream, honey, and pineapple juice in a small bowl or blender. Mix until smooth, adjusting sweetness or acidity to taste as needed.
- Serve the fried pies warm, drizzled with sauce & enjoy these delicious treats!
