Ingredients
Scale
Milkshake
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup canned coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract (optional for extra flavor)
Toppings and Garnishes
- Whipped cream for topping
- Maraschino cherries for garnish (optional)
- Toasted coconut flakes for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup of full-fat canned coconut milk, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks, and 1 teaspoon of coconut extract if using. These ingredients create the signature tropical flavor and creamy texture of the milkshake.
- Blend: Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all the frozen pineapple pieces are fully broken down for a uniform consistency.
- Serve: Pour the milkshake into chilled glasses to keep it cold longer. Top each glass with a generous swirl of whipped cream for added sweetness and creaminess.
- Garnish: Add a maraschino cherry and sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top, if desired, to elevate the flavor and presentation.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the fresh, tropical flavors at their best.
Notes
- For a thinner shake, add additional pineapple juice or a splash of milk and blend again.
- To make it boozy, add 1–2 ounces of rum before blending for a cocktail version.
- For extra creaminess and natural sweetness, substitute or add frozen banana to the blend.
