Make Pina Colada Dip for your next party or backyard barbecue! The tropical flavors of coconut, fresh pineapple, and rum extract are whipped with cream cheese and Cool Whip for the perfect fruit dip!
Place a strainer over a small bowl and drain the pineapple tidbits for at least 10 minutes. Open the can of crushed pineapple and pour the juice out while pressing onto the lid. See note.
Using a stand mixer or hand held mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar, rum extract and coconut extract. Beat until well combined.
Mix in the coconut, pineapple tidbits and crushed pineapple. Mix well, and then fold in the Cool Whip until thoroughly combined.
Can be served right away, but tastes best when refrigerated overnight in an airtight container.
Notes
It's important that the pineapple tidbits are drained for at least 10 minutes in a strainer. There can be a small amount of juice from the crushed pineapple to add some additional flavor, so I suggest just draining it with the lid on after opening the can.
