Equipment
- High Powered Professional Blender
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Pineapple (frozen)
- 1 Cup Ice
- 3 ounces Rum (white)
- 6 ounces Coconut Cream
- 4 ounces Evaporated Milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Blender: Set up a blender, ensuring it's clean and ready for use.
- Add White Rum: Begin by pouring the 3 ounces of white rum into the blender. This will provide a delightful alcoholic kick to your colada.
- Incorporate Coconut Cream: Next, add the 6 ounces of luscious coconut cream to the blender. This will impart a creamy, tropical richness to the drink.
- Pour in Evaporated Milk: Follow up with the 4 ounces of evaporated milk. This adds a smooth, dairy note to balance the flavors.
- Introduce Frozen Pineapple: Toss in the 2 cups of frozen pineapple chunks. The frozen fruit not only contributes to the colada's tropical taste but also provides a natural chill.
- Add Ice: Include 1 cup of ice to lend a refreshing and slushy texture to the colada. This ensures a perfectly chilled beverage.
- Blend Until Smooth: Secure the blender lid and blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. This should take about 1-2 minutes, depending on the power of your blender.
- Taste and Adjust (Optional): Take a moment to taste the colada. If you desire more sweetness or a stronger rum flavor, feel free to adjust by adding a bit more rum or sweetener of your choice.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the Tropical Pineapple Colada into glasses, garnish with a pineapple slice or a sprinkle of coconut flakes if desired, and serve immediately.
- Optional Garnish (if desired): For an extra touch of tropical flair, you can garnish each glass with a slice of fresh pineapple or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
- Now, sit back, relax, and savor the taste of the tropics with your homemade Tropical Pineapple Colada! Enjoy responsibly!
