Frozen Pina Colada Ingredients
You’ll need to make a sugar-free syrup for your frozen pina colada, so let’s start with that.
Sugar-Free Simple Syrup
- ยผ c. powdered monk fruit sweetener
- ยฝ c. water
Note: Simple syrup is normally prepared using a 1:1 ratio of refined white sugar to water. In general, monk fruit sweetener is considered a 1:1 replacement for sugar, but in this case, a 1:2 ratio (one part sweetener to two parts water) works well because the pineapple is inherently sweet.
Other Ingredients
- 2 c. frozen pineapple chunks (see note above)
- 8 oz. pineapple juice
- 1/3 c. coconut cream
- 4 oz. light rum
- 6-8 ice cubes
- Garnish: Fresh pineapple slices
You can use fresh, frozen, or canned pineapple for this recipe. For best results, use fresh pineapple that has been cut into chunks and frozen prior to blending.
Mocktail version: Omit the rum and replace it with 1 oz. coconut cream and 3 oz. pineapple juice before blending.
