Virgin Piña Colada
This refreshing drink inevitably conjures up images of warm sunny days on beautiful island beaches! Piña Colada stands for ‘strained pineapple’. It is known as a ‘Virgin’ Piña Colada because the drink is alcohol-free. An exotic combination of pineapple and cream, this recipe is my version of the world-famous drink.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup crushed pineapple
- 1 cup pineapple juice chilled
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1 cup crushed ice
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- 1-2 scoops vanilla ice-cream
- 1 tbsp. sugar or to taste
Instructions
- Put everything in a blender, process until creamy and well combined. Serve in glasses garnished with pineapple wedges or maraschino cherries or both.Enjoy! 🙂
Notes
If you’re using sweetened pineapple juice or sweetened cream of coconut, then you can omit the sugar.

W/Salaam, it should be fine, if you can try and do a test run before the guests arrive just to see how it turns out as I have not tried this with coconut milk, cream is a bit richer and has a sweeter flavour. But I believe it will be ok. 🙂
Asak. I got the coconut cream
Asak. I got the coconut cream in the can but it has no storage instructions. Do you know from experience if I can store the remaining cream by covering with cling film? If yes for how long? Thanks
You should remove your
You should remove your leftovers from the can and put it in a different container, otherwise the can will impart an unpleasant taste to the cream of coconut. Stored in the refrigerator, the cream of coconut will keep for a week; in the freezer, for a month.

W/Salaam, am sorry but I actually have never used it in block form so am not sure how it works. Just give it a try and see how you find the results.
I did some research,so far
I did some research,so far the idea it actuaaly gives me is that block cream is heavier so in that case I will dilute this with 1/4 cup creamed coconut to 1/4 cup water.let u know if my family survives.(hee hee)
