Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (245 grams) Whole Pineapple Chunks* if using canned chunks - from a whole pineapple see notes
1/4 cup (48 grams) Pineapple Juice
2 tablespoons Coconut Cream** from a can of full fat coconut milk - see note
3 ounces (70 grams) White Rum for two servings (4 1/2 oz (105g) for three) see notes
1 tablespoon Organic Cane Sugar*** adjust to taste - see note
3 cups (320 grams) Ice

Garnish:

Fresh Pineapple Wedges

Instructions

In a high speed blender (affiliate link) add the pineapple chunks, juice, coconut creme, rum, sugar and ice. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth yet still icy cold. Taste for sugar adjustment if needed.
Pour into serving glasses and garnish with fresh pineapple.

Notes

Serving size: If serving in low ball glasses, I can get three servings out of this batch. If serving in a high ball, two servings. Adjust the rum according to serving size.

Pina Coladas are refreshing as mocktails. Simply leave the rum out and add a few more chinks of pineapple and/or one extra tablespoon of coconut cream.

*If using fresh cut pineapple chunks measure out almost two cups (245g). Because the chunks are hand cut, rather from a machine like canned, they will be odd shaped and probably larger in size. **For the coconut creme, I use a can of full fat coconut milk, refrigerated, then I scoop out the solid coconut cream needed for the recipe. ***The amount of added sugar can be adjusted up or down depending on the sweetness of the pineapple. Sometimes I add more, sometimes less.
