Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ½ cup crushed pineapple optional, for extra texture
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar optional, for added sweetness
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes optional, for a thicker consistency
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Make sure everything is cold and ready to go—this keeps your milkshake thick and frosty.
- Blend It Up: In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream, pineapple juice, coconut milk, crushed pineapple (if using), honey or sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Adjust Thickness: For a thicker shake, toss in a few ice cubes. Blend again until completely smooth.
- Taste and Tweak: Taste your milkshake and add more sweetener or liquid if needed.
- Serve Immediately: Pour into chilled glasses and enjoy right away while it’s creamy and cold.
Notes
- Use Chilled Ingredients: Cold ingredients blend better and keep the milkshake thick longer.
- Layer Liquids First: Add pineapple juice and coconut milk before ice cream to prevent clumping in the blender.
- Don’t Overblend: Blend just until smooth to avoid melting the ice cream too much.
- Customize: Add a banana for extra creaminess or a splash of rum for an adult twist.
