A quick and easy non-alcoholic tropical drink featuring frozen pineapple, coconut cream, and a luscious coconut cream swirl for a creamy, refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) fresh pineapple juice
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 cup (240ml) ice cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the coconut cream swirl:
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) coconut cream, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coconut Cream Swirl: In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup (60ml) coconut cream with 1 teaspoon powdered sugar and a pinch of salt. Gently blend with a spoon or small whisk until smooth but thick enough to hold shape. Set aside at room temperature.
  2. Measure and Add Main Ingredients: Into a high-speed blender, add 2 cups (300g) frozen pineapple chunks, 1/2 cup (120ml) fresh pineapple juice, 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut cream, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup (240ml) ice cubes. Add 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup if desired.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Pulse initially to break down frozen chunks, then blend continuously for 45 seconds to 1 minute until creamy and slushy. Scrape sides if needed.
  4. Check Consistency and Taste: Ensure mixture is thick but pourable with no large ice chunks. Adjust sweetness or lime juice as needed.
  5. Pour and Swirl: Pour piña colada into chilled glasses about three-quarters full. Drizzle coconut cream swirl inside the glass or on top, creating a marbled effect. Optionally swirl gently with a toothpick.
  6. Serve Immediately: Garnish with pineapple wedge or maraschino cherry and enjoy.
  7. Optional Storage: Blend main drink and store in freezer up to 2 hours. Stir before serving and add coconut cream swirl fresh.

Notes

Use room temperature coconut cream for the swirl to achieve the best marbled effect. Chill glasses before serving for enhanced experience. Adjust sweetness based on pineapple tartness. For a creamier texture, add frozen banana or Greek/coconut yogurt. For a spiced twist, add cinnamon or nutmeg. Store blended base in freezer up to 24 hours; add swirl fresh before serving.
