Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks preferably frozen ahead for best texture
  • 1 cup coconut milk chilled in the fridge overnight for optimal blending
  • 1 cup ice cubes to add frosty texture
  • 1 tablespoon simple syrup or honey optional, for added sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Add the frozen pineapple chunks, chilled coconut milk, ice cubes, and sweetener (if using) to your blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30 seconds, pulsing as needed, until the mixture becomes silky and frothy with a uniform pale yellow color.
  3. Stop the blender and check the texture; if it's too thick, add a splash more coconut milk and blend again. If it's too thin, add a handful of frozen pineapple chunks and blend briefly.
  4. Once the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well-blended, pour it into chilled glasses.
  5. Garnish with a pineapple wedge or a maraschino cherry for a festive touch, if desired.
  6. Enjoy your refreshing tropical piña colada slushie immediately for the best icy texture and flavor.

Notes

For an adult version, add a splash of rum before blending. For an extra tropical twist, sprinkle toasted coconut on top or rim the glass with shredded coconut. Remember to freeze the coconut milk overnight to prevent icy chunks and ensure smooth blending.
