Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut cream (for extra richness)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1/2 cup sparkling water (optional, for fizz)
Garnish
- Fresh pineapple chunks
- Shredded coconut
- Maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the drained crushed pineapple, coconut milk, pineapple juice, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add Ice for Texture: Add the ice cubes to the blender and pulse again until the ice is crushed and the drink achieves a slushy, snowy texture. Adjust the amount of ice or add a bit more pineapple juice to achieve your desired consistency.
- Optional Fizz: For a sparkling twist, gently stir in the sparkling water after blending. This will give the punch a refreshing, bubbly touch without diluting the texture.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the punch into chilled glasses and garnish with fresh pineapple chunks, shredded coconut, or maraschino cherries to add flavor and visual appeal.
- Enjoy Immediately: Serve the punch right away to enjoy the frosty, tropical flavors at their best.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk and heavy cream for the creamiest texture.
- Add powdered sugar incrementally and taste as you go to adjust sweetness.
- Sparkling water is optional; skipping it will result in a thicker, creamier punch.
- To make it vegan, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use vegan-friendly powdered sugar.
- Serve immediately to prevent the ice from melting and diluting the drink.
