These easy no bake Pina Colada Pie Jars will have you feeling like you are on vacation at a tropical beach. They are so creamy, taste great and can be enjoyed by all!
Hello, it me! Happy to be back with a new recipe today since it's been a bit since my last post. For three weeks we were under house construction while we were getting new ceilings on all 3 levels of our house. Rooms needed to be cleared with the kitchen and my office not usable for a long time. Then once everything was done then it was time to clean the entire house - walls and furniture were washed, floors cleaned, knick-knacks dusted and that took three full days! I now have the cleanest house in town 🙂
Since today is the considered the first day of summer, how does these Pina Colada Pie Jars sound? There is no need to turn on your oven and I'm sure your family or friends would appreciate this tasty treat any time. These are definitely made kid friendly with using rum extract but you could substitute some dark rum alcohol if you wanted to give it an adult twist.
Let's say too you want to bring these along on a picnic. An easy way to do this is to leave off the final topping of cool whip, cap the jars, then unscrew them when ready to eat and top with the cool whip. They would stack great in a cooler.

These jars are so cool! So much easier to eat out of but still have the same (and even a little cooler) of a visual effect! Where did you get them? 🙂
