Ingredients
1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
2 ounces coconut cream
1 1/2 ounces white rum (optional; omit for a virgin drink)
1 ounce simple syrup (adjust to taste)
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
1/2 cup crushed ice (add more for a thicker drink)
Pineapple wedge
Maraschino cherry
Instructions
1-Combine in blender: Place frozen pineapple chunks, coconut cream, rum (if using), simple syrup, lime juice, and crushed ice in a blender.
2-Blend until smooth: Blend on high until smooth and frosty. If too thick, add pineapple juice or water; if too thin, add more ice and blend again.
3-Adjust sweetness: Taste and add more simple syrup if desired.
4-Pour into glass: Pour the mixture into a chilled tall glass.
5-Garnish: Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry.
6-Serve immediately: Serve right away to maintain the frozen texture; the drink will separate as it sits.

🥥 Shake the can of coconut cream well before measuring because it separates during storage.
🧊 For a thicker drink, add more crushed ice and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
🍒 For a dessert version, blend with vanilla ice cream instead of ice for an extra creamy frozen treat.
