A quick and easy creamy piña colada frozen cocktail that blends coconut milk, frozen pineapple, and rum for a smooth, tropical treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (225g) frozen pineapple chunks, unsweetened
  • ¾ cup (180ml) canned full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 ounces (60ml) white rum
  • 1 cup (240ml) ice cubes
  • ¼ cup (60ml) pineapple juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or simple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Measure and prep ingredients: Gather frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, white rum, ice cubes, pineapple juice, vanilla extract, sugar (optional), fresh lime juice, and nutmeg.
  2. Combine in blender: Add frozen pineapple, coconut milk, rum, ice, pineapple juice, vanilla, sugar, and lime juice to the blender jar. Secure the lid tightly.
  3. Blend until smooth: Pulse a few times to break up frozen chunks, then blend continuously for 30-45 seconds until creamy and slushy. Adjust consistency by adding pineapple juice or coconut milk if too thick, or more ice/frozen pineapple if too thin.
  4. Taste and adjust: Sip to check sweetness and alcohol level. Add more sugar or rum if desired, then pulse briefly to mix.
  5. Pour and garnish: Pour into chilled glasses, sprinkle nutmeg on top, and optionally garnish with a pineapple wedge or maraschino cherry.
  6. Serve immediately: Enjoy right away for best frosty texture. If holding briefly, keep in freezer and stir before serving.

Notes

Use canned full-fat coconut milk for best creaminess. Keep pineapple frozen to avoid dilution. Blend in stages to protect blender motor. Adjust sweetness after blending. Fresh lime juice is key for balance. For alcohol-free version, replace rum with coconut water or extra pineapple juice.
