Pina Colada Ice Cream

Summer is here and who doesn’t like a frozen treat?  I already have several up in my recipe index.  This pina colada ice cream is just a perfect addition.  The taste of pina colada reminds me of when I lived in Las Vegas.  We would go to the resort pool parties and sip on pina coladas.  Super yummy.  I found this recipe initially at The Midnight Baker’s website.  She made them into popsicles, but I turned them into ice cream.  You could do either.

If you don’t have an ice cream machine, you can make them into popsicles
or smoothie pops.  Any way will work great!  We received a pineapple and some vanilla beans in our co-op basket so I used them in this recipe.

Pina Colada Ice Cream

Pina Colada Ice Cream

Prep Time 15 min Serves 4-5 cups     adjust servings

Ingredients

  • 1 can coconut milk (I used Thai Organic)
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 vanilla bean (whole) 1tsp extract would work well too.
  • 3 cups pineapple diced
  • 2 T liquid sweetener (optional)

Instructions

  1. Throw all the ingredients in a blender and blend for about 90 seconds. Take a taste. It will be slightly tart. I liked it that way.
  2. You can also add 2 T of maple syrup or honey to sweeten it more if you like. I did not add any sweetener to mine.
  3. Pour contents into ice pop molds or an ice cream machine . Mine took about 20 minutes in the machine.
  4. The ice cream will come out like soft serve. If you prefer a harder ice cream, place in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour to firm up. Enjoy!

    1. Thank you! It probably is not calorie low, but it is loaded with good fats and a little will keep you full. :)
  1. I just got done making this recipe! I made them into popsicles. Can't wait to try them. Your chia seed pudding has become a favorite around here too. Really love your blog!
  2. I just found your website yesterday - lots of really GOOD stuff! I made the piña colada ice cream today - used vanilla extract and I did add 2 tbsp. maple syrup. EXCELLENT results. Next time I want to try it with the whole vanilla bean. Light and refreshing and so good to know it is healthy.
