Description
A nostalgic, tropical milkshake that blends sweet pineapple, smooth coconut, and classic vanilla ice cream for a treat that tastes like a vacation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (about 4 scoops)
- 1 cup fresh or canned pineapple chunks (if using canned, drain juice)
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup coconut milk (adjust for thickness)
- 1/4 teaspoon rum extract (optional)
Instructions
- Add the vanilla ice cream, pineapple chunks, coconut milk, and rum extract to a blender.
- Blend on medium-high until smooth and creamy, about 30–60 seconds.
- Check texture; add more coconut milk if too thick or sugar/honey if sweeter is desired.
- Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a pineapple wedge or toasted coconut if desired.
Notes
Use good-quality vanilla ice cream for best results. Fresh pineapple gives the best flavor, but canned is convenient. Adjust coconut milk for desired thickness.
