This frozen pina colada recipe is a creamy, tropical delight with a perfect blend of coconut, pineapple, and rum, ready in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup (240ml) coconut cream
  • 1 cup (240ml) pineapple juice
  • 2 ounces (60ml) white rum
  • 1 to 2 cups ice cubes
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar or honey (optional)
  • Pineapple slices for garnish
  • Maraschino cherries for garnish
  • Shredded coconut for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: If using fresh pineapple, peel, core, and slice it into chunks. Freeze the pineapple for at least 4 hours or overnight. Measure out all your ingredients for easy blending.
  2. Blend the base: In your blender, combine frozen pineapple chunks, coconut cream, pineapple juice, and white rum. Add ice cubes depending on how thick you want your pina colada.
  3. Sweeten: Taste the mixture and decide if you want to add sweetness. Blend in sugar or honey if needed.
  4. Blend until smooth: Blend everything on high speed until smooth and creamy. The mixture should be thick but pourable, with no chunks of ice or fruit.
  5. Serve: Pour the frozen pina colada into glasses. Garnish with pineapple slices, a cherry, and a sprinkle of shredded coconut if desired.
  6. Optional presentation: Add a paper umbrella or a fun straw for an extra tropical touch.
