One taste of this icy cold treat will whisk you away to a tropical island for a few heavenly moments. Tastes just like a frozen piña colada, only difference is you eat it with a spoon, not a straw!
Leave the rum out if you are making this for the little ones. The points remain the same with or without. Enjoy!!!

this looks SO yummy. We don't have an ice cream maker, but I wonder how this would work as a granita....I may have to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI love how simple this is! Could the pineapple be interchanged with any fruit? Could a different type of milk (almond milk maybe?) be used and come out the same?
ReplyDeleteYou are truly a woman after my own heart! I've been wanting to use my ice cream maker but couuldnt decide what to make. Im going to make this as soon as I can! Thanks again gina!
ReplyDeleteThe rum will make the sorbet runnier when it goes through the ice cream maker. You will need to freeze it afterwards to get the sorbet consistency. Alcohol doesn't freeze, so it definitely changes the mixture at first.
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful! You make it look so simple - love it!
ReplyDeleteYum yum.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to either store coconut milk or purchase it in something besides a can? There are several recipes on here I would like to try with this ingredient, but it seems that it would be easier if I had a better way to buy and/or store the coconut milk. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCan I use a sugar substitute? How would it affect the points?
ReplyDeleteI bet this would be great as a granita or ice pop!
ReplyDeleteI suppose you could use a different juice in place of coconut milk, but then it wouldn't be a pina colada!
I usually use they leftover milk for one of my other recipes, example I made chicken coconut curry with the extra milk I had.
Not sure how Splenda would effect the points. It may lower it a little.
I. AM. SO. MAKING THIS! Mmmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteThis is on my list for my next get together, which I will plan SOON just so I can have this!
ReplyDeleteThis is something I'd never say No to!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds fab! I love anything with pineapple.
ReplyDeleteI just got a Cusinart ice cream maker. I'm ripping that box open and making this recipe as soon as the cylinder freezes long enough. OMG this looks good and I love Pina Coladas!
ReplyDeleteGina, I want some right now!
ReplyDeleteJust copied the recipe. Jena, you always have such refreshing and wonderful recipes on your blog. Thank you for this one. And its low calorie also...you thought of everything!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious!
ReplyDeletedo you use the regular coconut milk or a low-fat coconut milk? I can't seem to taste the coconut when I've used the lower fat kind.
Did you use full fat coconut milk or lite? Or did you use SO Delicious coconut milk? This looks AMAZING! I am a HUGE pina colada fan.
ReplyDeleteI used full fat coconut milk Thai Kitchen brand because I agree, the flavor can get lost with light. Hope you all like :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this! Thank you for sharing your fabulous recipes.
ReplyDeleteThis looks and sounds so YUMMY! I will have to give it a try. I'm always up for a treat like this, especially the more healthy version. Thank you for all your great recipes.
ReplyDeletei don't have an ice cream maker :(
ReplyDeleteyou think there's a way for me to still make this????
i would like to know also if you can make this without an ice cream maker (never thought to buy one since I don't think it would be helpful in my weight loss program!)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my ice cream maker!! The sorbet possibilities are endless!!
ReplyDeleteHere's a great link from David Lebovitz on how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker.

@countrygirlcouture.. I always have powdered Coconut milk in my cupboard and find it so versatile and I also buy block Coconut cream which you can either grate into curries which gives a much more distinctive flavour or melt down in a little milk to use in a more liquid state. This keeps for a long time unopened and I buy mostly in Thai/chinese shops. Mandy @Lugano Switzerland.
ReplyDeleteI have to see if they sell that here, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIs Silk Coconut Milk the same thing that you are talking about. It's all I could find. It was in the milk cooler at the store.
ReplyDeleteWould using agave syrup instead of sugar effect this in any way?
ReplyDeleteThis is sooooo good :) I added a little coconut extract. These flavors taste like vacation!
ReplyDeleteMade this last night. I was really delicious. Tasted just like a pina colada. The acid from the pineapple makes my throat hurt if I eat too much, which is actually a good thing or else it would be gone in no time! So easy to make too. Thanks Gina
ReplyDeleteHIC - love this. I am all over anything Pina Colada. Last year I got to spend 6 months in the US Virgin Isles, where a bottle of rum is cheaper than a bottle of Coke.
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't put this through the ice cream freezer, would it end up like a pina colada smoothie? I am so into smoothies right now...perfect for this hot summer we're having in Texas (108 degrees today!)
ReplyDeleteYes, you could probably freeze it then put it through the blender for a frozen drink!
ReplyDeletehi Gina! I love the napkin! your pics are so tasty :)
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight and it was fantastic!!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis was delicious! I left out the rum because I did not have any, but next time I am definitely putting it in!
ReplyDeleteJust finished freezing in ice cream freezer. It was firm, creamy and taste great. I used Splenda and Rum extract. Next time I'll double the recipe.
ReplyDeleteJust made this a few minutes ago to eat after dinner. We made the mistake of test-tasting it when it was done. Mistake. BIG. HUGE. (Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman) - holy cow, this was SOOOO GOOD. The kids, husband and I decided to have dessert first tonight!!! So good, thank you! (Oh and we obviously left out the rum this time - but will be adding that for a late night snack sometime for hubbie and I!)
ReplyDeleteI'll admit, I was a little hesitant on trying this recipe because I'm so picky about my pina coladas...but OH MAN. I received an ice cream maker this morning and gave this recipe a try....SO delicious! I had to substitute the fresh pineapple for canned (In Alaska a fresh pineapple is $8 lol) but with the coconut milk and rum it was still fantastic. I don't know if I want to even try any other recipe now..Way to go Gina!
ReplyDeleteThis was so good! I had a ice cream maker I had never used and we finally broke it out. Can't wait to try the chocolate sorbet. Thanks for another yummy recipe!
ReplyDeleteThis is so good that I immediately made another batch upon tasting the first one, now it is in the freezer for another night! I just need to go buy another pineapple so I can make more, this time with the rum for the grown ups!
ReplyDeleteyou could use creamed coconut i think instead of coconut milk
ReplyDeleteWow, I've only just blended up the mix to leave in the fridge while I'm at work tonight and my sneaky taste test was amazing! Our Australian pineapples have been extra sweet and juicy this year, so I'll definitely be making a few more batches before summer is over! Thank you!!!
