Pina Colada Ice Cream
Pina Colada Ice Cream is a delightful frozen dessert inspired by the classic tropical cocktail. It combines the flavors of pineapple, coconut, and a hint of banana to create a creamy and refreshing treat.
Equipment
- 1 Food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup frozen banana slices
- ½ cup heavy cream or yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Place the frozen pineapple chunks, frozen bananas, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup into a blender or food processor. Blend the ingredients until they are smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture should resemble the texture of soft-serve ice cream.
- Add the shredded coconut to the blender and pulse a few times to incorporate it into the mixture. This will add a hint of coconut flavor and some texture to the ice cream.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired. Transfer the mixture to a lidded container (or use half of pineapple as a boat for the ice cream) and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until the ice cream reaches the desired firmness.
- Once the ice cream is set, scoop it into bowls or cones and serve. Enjoy the creamy and tropical goodness of homemade Pina Colada Ice Cream!
