Description

Tropical paradise meets dessert bliss in this irresistible Pina Colada Ice Cream Sundae, blending creamy coconut and pineapple flavors. Refreshing layers of cool indulgence will transport you to a beachside escape with each delightful spoonful.


Ingredients

Scale

Alcohol:

  • 2 ounces (60 milliliters) light rum

Dairy and Frozen Ingredients:

  • 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
  • Whipped cream

Liquid and Fruit Ingredients:

  • 1 ounce (30 milliliters) coconut cream
  • 4 ounces (120 milliliters) pineapple juice
  • 1 cup crushed ice

Garnishes:

  • Chocolate sauce
  • Maraschino cherry
  • Pineapple slice

Instructions

  1. Craft the tropical cocktail base by blending light rum, coconut cream, pineapple juice, and crushed ice until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
  2. Transfer the vibrant mixture into a chilled tall glass, ensuring smooth pouring to maintain the drink’s elegant appearance.
  3. Delicately position a luxurious scoop of premium vanilla ice cream to float gracefully atop the pina colada liquid.
  4. Enhance the dessert’s visual appeal by artfully drizzling rich chocolate sauce across the ice cream and along the glass interior, creating an enticing pattern.
  5. Crown the sundae with a billowing layer of airy whipped cream, generously covering the ice cream surface.
  6. Elevate the presentation by perching a glossy maraschino cherry at the cream’s peak and strategically placing a fresh pineapple slice along the glass rim.
  7. Serve the chilled dessert drink immediately, accompanying it with a straw and spoon to allow guests to fully enjoy its layered textures and flavors.

Notes

  • Choose high-quality coconut cream for a rich, authentic flavor that elevates the entire dessert experience.
  • Use fresh pineapple juice instead of canned for a brighter, more vibrant tropical taste that makes the sundae pop.
  • Chill the glass beforehand to keep the pina colada base and ice cream colder for longer, preventing quick melting and maintaining the perfect texture.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, swap light rum with coconut water or additional pineapple juice, making the sundae kid-friendly and refreshing.
