No Sugar Added Frozen Strawberry Piña Coladas

Drescription

This frozen strawberry piña colada is super fresh and fruity with just the right amount of sweetness for a cocktail. Use a pineapple-flavored rum that uses 100% juice to avoid excess added sugars like we do here. You can use store-bought frozen pineapple, or if you have a perfectly ripe fresh pineapple on your hands, you can cut and freeze it instead (reserve a few fresh spears for garnish). To freeze pineapple, peel off the skin with a sharp knife and slice the fruit into 1-inch chunks. Freeze in a single layer on a small baking sheet or large plate to prevent the pieces from sticking together.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • ½ cup frozen whole strawberries
  • ½ cup well-shaken coconut milk
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons pineapple-flavored rum (such as don q)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • fresh pineapple spears for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Place pineapple chunks, strawberries, coconut milk, pineapple rum and lime juice in a blender; process until smooth, about 1 minute. Divide between 2 glasses; garnish each with a pineapple spear, if desired. Serve immediately.
