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

Instructions
- Craft the tropical cocktail base by blending light rum, coconut cream, pineapple juice, and crushed ice until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Transfer the vibrant mixture into a chilled tall glass, ensuring smooth pouring to maintain the drink’s elegant appearance.
- Delicately position a luxurious scoop of premium vanilla ice cream to float gracefully atop the pina colada liquid.
- 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.
- Crown the sundae with a billowing layer of airy whipped cream, generously covering the ice cream surface.
- 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.
- 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.
