Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup coconut milk
Tropical Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup coconut cream
Texture Ingredient:
- 1 cup ice
Instructions
- Combine all liquid and solid ingredients in a high-powered blender, ensuring equal distribution of pineapple chunks, coconut milk, vanilla ice cream, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and ice cubes.
- Pulse and blend the mixture at high speed for 45-60 seconds until achieving a silky, uniform consistency with no visible chunks.
- For an alcoholic variation, pour rum into the blender and briefly pulse to integrate the spirit throughout the milkshake.
- Select chilled glasses and carefully pour the smooth tropical mixture, maintaining the drink’s frothy texture.
- Elevate presentation by delicately garnishing with a generous dollop of whipped cream, vibrant maraschino cherries, and a sprinkle of golden toasted shredded coconut.
- Serve immediately while the milkshake maintains its optimal temperature and velvety texture, preferably with a wide straw for effortless sipping.
Notes
- Chill your glasses beforehand to keep the milkshake colder for longer and prevent quick melting.
- For a dairy-free version, swap vanilla ice cream with coconut milk ice cream or vegan vanilla ice cream to maintain the creamy texture.
- Adjust sweetness by using fresh pineapple chunks instead of juice, which can help control sugar content and provide a more natural flavor profile.
- Experiment with rum types like white, dark, or spiced rum to create different flavor dimensions in the adult version of the milkshake.
