How to Make Pia Colada Dipping Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup piña colada mix, 1 cup water, 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple (undrained), 1 cup shredded coconut, and ½ cup powdered sugar.
  2. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce begins to simmer.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  5. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Continue to stir until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
  7. Serve the sauce at room temperature or chilled. It's the perfect complement to coconut shrimp, but don't be afraid to get creative with your dipping choices!
