Ingredients

  • 15 ounces coconut cream (see note 1)
  • 6 ounces white rum (3/4 cup, see note 2)
  • 2 ounces simple syrup (1/4 cup)
  • 16 ounces pineapple about 3 cups, frozen chunks
  • 8 ounces ice (about 2 cups)
  • 4 lices pineapple for garnish
  • maraschino cherries for garnish, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To a blender, add coconut cream, rum, simple syrup, frozen pineapple, and ice cubes.
  2. Blend until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. Pour into a hurricane glasses and garnish with pineapple slices and maraschino cherries.

Notes

  • Coconut cream: Look for coconut cream (thick and unsweetened), not cream of coconut (syrupy and very sweet).
  • Rum: For even more flavor, substitute coconut rum such as Malibu brand.
  • Yield: This recipe makes 4 blended piña coladas.
  • Glassware: The ideal glass for a piña colada is a poco grande glass (shown above). It's a similar shape to a hurricane glass but has a longer stem and a smaller cup.
  • Over the top: Dreaming of vacation? Get a little crazy and top your piña colada with whipped cream and toasted coconut, too.
