This piña colada sorbet tastes just like the real thing, just frozen; only difference is you eat it with a spoon, not a straw! One taste of this icy cold treat will whisk you away to a tropical island for a few heavenly moments.
Piña Colada Sorbet
Piña Colada SorbetThis homemade low fat piña colada sorbet is the perfect solution to satisfying any sweet tooth, especially in the summer time. I also love my frozen Chocolate Sorbet, made with chocolate and espresso, or my Cherry Sorbet using real cherries!
I’ve been playing around with my new ice cream maker
This pineapple ice cream would make great tasting ice pops too if you don’t have an ice cream maker. Use your sweetener of choice, Stevia of course could be used in place of the sugar or agave if that is what you prefer.
Leave the rum out if you are making this for the little ones. The points remain the same with or without. Enjoy!!!

Do you think that you could use frozen and then thawed pineapple for this recipe?
sure
Okay, the flavor was good but we could not get past the stringiness of the pineapple. We ended up throwing the whole thing away. What went wrong?
I’d put the pineapple in the blender then strain it THEN and the sugar, coconut milk and rum, stirring it till the sugar is melted THEN chill it before putting it in your ice cream maker (or freezer).
I made this for a friend who came to visit last week and this week she asked me to bring it for a dinner party she’s hosting! I guess that means she liked it! So did I!
This tastes incredible! However, I come up with 5 points a serving, not 4, when I plug the recipe into the WW recipe builder. Any ideas?
Are you using the recipe builder? The only accurate way to determine any recipe’s SmartPoints® value is to plug the ingredients into the recipe builder on the Weight Watchers website (Click on “My Foods,” select “Recipe,” and click “Create a recipe.”) which does not count fruits and vegetables in recipes in the calculations as they are now 0 points.
The SmartPoints® calculator isn’t meant for recipes and will often give you the wrong points (usually higher) because it’s counting the fruits and vegetables. So if you see a recipe with a SmartPoints® value that’s different from what the calculator tells you, now you know why.
Hmm…yes, I did use the recipe builder. Oh well, next time I will decrease the sugar by just a bit and that will make it only 4 points a serving. The sorbet is amazing! I have plans to try it with strawberries next and then with cherries another time. I have a freezer full of Halo Top and Enlightened but choose this sorbet first. Gina, your recipes have changed dinners and eating in general in our house. Thank you so much for your dedication to bringing us delicious and creative recipes. I started making your recipes over a year ago, and my husband dropped 15 pounds without even trying! And now that I started WW in February, combined with your recipes, I’ve dropped almost 40 pounds! We use your recipes 3-4 times a week and never miss eating out because we eat so well at home. Thank you, thank you!! You have made such a positive impact in our life and I know many others too! Keep up the amazing work! 🙂
Can you make this and then just freeze it, if you don’t have an ice cream maker? I don’t have one but I’d really like to make this.
Is it coconut milk in the can? Or the one that comes in box like almond milk?
In the can and get it without gar gum unless you like the texture it produces. Talenti brand gelato uses gar gum.
