Sweet treat of the week: Piña Colada Freeze

From here on out, Saturdays will officially be the day that I share a "sweet treat of the week".  So all you dessert lovers, mark it on your calendars--Saturday is now even sweeter!

Today, I am sharing a new favorite recipe that James found on the Sweet Sensations blog.  Check it out for some extra inspiration.   This recipe is a real keeper--it's simple, quick and delicious--making it the perfect frozen summer dessert!



Piña Colada Freeze

1 can (8 oz) Dole Crushed Pineapple in juice

1. Mix pretzel crumbs and butter. Press onto bottom of plastic wrap-lined 9-inch round pan. Freeze until ready to use. .

2. Beat cream cheese, sugar, pineapple and toasted coconut until well blended. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups Cool Whip; spoon over crust.
