Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups pineapple fresh
- ½ cup coconut milk* regular or lite
- ¼ cup coconut cream
- 3 oz. rum white, silver, or light
- 1 Tbsp. sugar optional
- ¼-½ cup ice
Instructions
- Prepare the Pineapple: Cut fresh pineapple into 1-inch chunks.* Place in a 1-gallon ziplock bag and freeze in a single layer for 2-3 hours.
- Combine Ingredients and Blend: Add frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, coconut cream, rum, and sugar to a large food processor or high-speed blender, such as a Vitamix. Blend for about 1-2 minutes or until pineapple is completely smooth. Add ice and pulse until well incorporated.
- Serve immediately with a pineapple wedge, straw, and a maraschino cherry or freeze until ready to serve. If freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes and then blend it just before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Prep-Ahead Instructions:
- Make extra ahead of time! Instead of the 2 drinks it serves, you can always double, triple, or quadruple this recipe. If multiplying it by 3 or 4 you will want to make sure to use a Vitamix to ensure all of the ingredients fit. Make the drink ahead of time and keep it in the freezer.
- Storage Directions:
- Simply freeze your prepared recipe in an airtight container in the freezer. Store for up to 3 months. Pull it out 30 minutes before serving to let it thaw slightly. Add it back to the food processor or blender and blend until it is a sippable consistency.
- Recipe Tips:
- Nutritional information is calculated with no sugar added and with no garnishes.
- You can also use previously frozen pineapple if it is not currently in season.
- Make sure to use the coconut milk found in a can, NOT the kind in the refrigerated section.
- Nutritional information with Lite coconut milk: 300 kcals, 20 grams carbohydrates, and 12 grams of sugar in 1 serving.
- Freeze fresh pineapple. Using fresh pineapple will give you the best flavor.
- Cream and milk are key. This will give you the creamiest texture.
- Get the cream from the canned milk. Chill an unshaken can of coconut milk then scrape the cream off of the top.
- High-powered for texture. You can only get your piña colada as smooth as the blender you're using.
- Make a mocktail. Treat the whole family by making one batch with rum and another without for the kids!
