Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup white rum optional
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 1/2 cups ice

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Chill your glasses in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
  2. Combine the frozen pineapple chunks, coconut cream, pineapple juice, white rum (if using), and lime juice in your blender.
  3. Add about 1 1/2 cups of ice. Start with less and add more as needed to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Blend on high speed until everything is completely smooth and creamy. If it's having trouble blending, add a splash more pineapple juice.
  5. Taste and adjust. Add simple syrup or agave nectar if it's not sweet enough. Add more lime juice if it's too sweet.

  7. Garnish with pineapple wedges, maraschino cherries, and paper umbrellas.

Notes

For a Virgin Piña Colada, simply omit the rum. To make a Strawberry Piña Colada, add ½ cup of frozen strawberries to the blender. For a Mango Piña Colada, substitute ½ cup of the frozen pineapple with frozen mango chunks. Store leftovers in the freezer for up to a week. Thaw slightly before serving.
