Piña Colada in a Pineapple like they serve on the streets of Key West

 Ingredients:

  • 1 fresh pineapple
  • 2-3 oz rum (I use Havana Club for this)
  • 1 oz coconut cream
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 1/2 oz lime juice
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup
  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • Pineapple wedges and/or cherries for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Cut the top off the fresh pineapple and use a sharp knife to cut around the inside of the pineapple to loosen the fruit. Remove the fruit with a spoon and freeze overnight. Refrigerate the hollowed-out pineapple.
  2. In a blender, combine the rum, coconut cream, pineapple juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.
  3. Add the crushed ice to the blender and blend until smooth.
  4. Pour the mixture into the hollowed-out pineapple.
  5. Garnish with pineapple wedges and/or cherries.
  6. Insert a straw and serve and enjoy!

Note: To make this recipe non-alcoholic, simply omit the rum and increase the amount of pineapple juice to 2 oz. You can also add some extra fruit, such as sliced kiwi or strawberries, to the pineapple for added color and flavor
