The Best Piña Colada Bars Recipe — Be Greedy Eats | Where Food Meets Comfort

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9 x 13 in. baking pan with parchment paper letting it hang over the sides of the pan.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the ingredients for the crust until fully combined. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the lined pan.

Step 3

Bake the crust for 15 - 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the crust to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

While the crust is baking, begin making the filling. In a blender or food processor, puree the pineapple chunks, fresh lime juice, coconut cream, and rum. Blend the ingredients until smooth.

Step 5

In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour and sugar. Whisk in the eggs until smooth. A hand or standing mixer will make this process a lot easier.

Step 6

Add the pineapple puree and mix until smooth. Add the filling on top of the crust and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until the center is set and not jiggly or loose.

Step 7

Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool at room temperature for 2 - 3 hours.

Step 8

Once the bars are cooled, you can remove them from the pan and slice them; or, you can cover the bars with plastic wrap and chill overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 9

Top the bars with your choice of confectioner's sugar, toasted coconut flakes, maraschino cherries, or whipped cream. Serve and enjoy!
