These Pina Colada milkshakes are the perfect tropical treat—rich, creamy, and bursting with pineapple and coconut flavor. Blended with real fruit, coconut milk, and vanilla ice cream, they’re a refreshing, indulgent dessert for hot days or any time you want a taste of the tropics.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 milkshakes

Ingredients

Milkshake Base

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

For Serving

  • Whipped cream, for garnish
  • Maraschino cherries, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Blend the Ingredients: Add the fresh pineapple chunks, coconut milk, vanilla ice cream, pineapple juice, and honey (if using) to a blender. Blend everything together on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring the pineapple is fully incorporated and the shake is thick.
  2. Serve: Pour the milkshake mixture into chilled glasses. Top each milkshake with a generous swirl of whipped cream and finish with a maraschino cherry for a festive touch.
  3. Enjoy Immediately: Serve the milkshakes right away while they’re cold, thick, and creamy for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For a thicker milkshake, simply add more vanilla ice cream until you reach your desired consistency.
  • To make this recipe dairy-free, swap out the vanilla ice cream for coconut-based ice cream.
  • You can use canned pineapple if fresh isn’t available, but fresh will give the most vibrant flavor.
  • For an extra coconut kick, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top before serving.
