Why you’ll love this recipe:
- Creamy Consistency – This drink is almost like a pineapple smoothie – it’s SO creamy!
- Easy to Make – This drink comes together in about 10 minutes.
- Ultra Refreshing – This cold, creamy drink is so refreshing on a hot summer day!
Ingredient Overview:
- Frozen Pineapple – You can buy pre-frozen, but I like to cut and freeze a fresh summer pineapple for the best flavor.
- Cream of Coconut – This is different than coconut cream, but can be found in the same aisle (it’s actually easy to find in most grocery stores!). It’s a different consistency, and is sweeter.
Ingredient Substitutions:
- Rum – You can use spiced, vanilla, or coconut rum. I used coconut rum!
How to Make this Recipe Step-by-Step:
Step 1: If freezing your pineapple, be sure to allow time for it to freeze.
Step 2: Add your frozen pineapple, pineapple juice, cream of coconut, lime juice, and rum to your Oster® 3-in-1 Kitchen System with Texture Select Settings.
Step 3: Blend everything to creamy dreamy perfection! The 1200-watt motor handles frozen drinks like this effortlessly.
Step 4: And for the final step – and bear with me because this is a tricky one – pour into glasses and enjoy! Hehe.
Expert Success Tips:
- Freezing Pineapple – If you’re cutting and freezing your own pineapple, be sure to freeze it in a single layer on a sheet pan first. Otherwise, it will freeze into one giant iceberg because of the juices.
- Blending Tip – Be sure to add your liquids to the blender first, to help things blend smoothly. You can add more liquid as needed to help it come together.
Recipe Variations:
- Mocktail Option – You can easily make these into virgin piña coladas by omitting the rum. Add pineapple juice in the same amount as the rum to make up for the missing liquid.
Serving + Storing this Recipe:
Serve the drinks immediately once blended. If you want to save some for later, this actually freezes really well. Once it’s frozen, you can scoop it out and enjoy like a frozen sorbet, or you can re-blend it with a little extra liquid.

Frozen Pineapple Piña Coladas
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 large lime, juiced
- 4-6 ounces coconut rum
- 1/3 cup cream of coconut See note
- 4 and 1/2 cups frozen pineapple cubes
Instructions
- Prep your Frozen Pineapple: If freezing your own pineapple, allow time for it to freeze. Be sure to freeze it on a sheet pan before transferring to a freezer bag or container. Otherwise, the juicy fruit will freeze into one giant chunk instead of individual pieces.
- Make the Piña Coladas: Place the liquid ingredients into your Oster® 3-in-1 Kitchen System with Texture Select Settings first, and add the frozen pineapple in last. Pulse using the "thick" setting, until everything is blended and creamy. Add more liquid as needed to help things come together.
- Serve + Store: Serve the drinks immediately once blended. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a cherry. If you want to save some for later, this actually freezes well. Once it's frozen, you can scoop it and enjoy like frozen sorbet, or you can re-blend it with a little extra liquid.
