Ingredients
Scale
Main Alcohol and Flavor Ingredients:
- 2 ounces (57 grams) light rum
- 1 ounce (28 grams) coconut cream
- 4 ounces (113 grams) pineapple juice
Base and Texture Ingredients:
- 1 cup crushed ice
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
Garnish Ingredients:
- Chocolate sauce, for drizzling
- Whipped cream, for topping
- 1 maraschino cherry, for garnish
- 1 pineapple slice, for garnish
Instructions
- Chill a tall glass in the freezer for optimal serving temperature.
- In a blender, thoroughly mix light rum, coconut cream, pineapple juice, and crushed ice until smooth and frothy at high speed for about 30 seconds.
- Pour the blended tropical mixture into the chilled glass, filling approximately two-thirds of the glass.
- Carefully slide a scoop of vanilla ice cream directly onto the piña colada liquid, allowing it to partially sink but maintain a floating appearance.
- Artfully drizzle chocolate sauce in a zigzag pattern over the ice cream and around the inner glass edges for visual appeal.
- Crown the dessert with a lavish layer of whipped cream, creating soft peaks and texture.
- Strategically position a vibrant maraschino cherry at the summit of the whipped cream.
- Accent the glass rim with a fresh pineapple slice, slightly tilted for an elegant presentation.
- Accompany the sundae with both a straw and long-handled spoon for convenient enjoyment.
- Serve immediately while the mixture remains chilled and ice cream is perfectly semi-melted.
Notes
- Blend ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth, creamy base without ice chunks for the perfect texture.
- Use high-quality coconut cream and fresh pineapple juice to enhance the tropical flavor profile and authenticity.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace rum with coconut water or additional pineapple juice to maintain the tropical essence.
- Choose premium vanilla ice cream with real vanilla beans for a richer, more indulgent dessert experience.
