Pineapple has always been one of my favorite fruits, while coconut tends to fall flat on my palate. My brain just never knew what to make of the nutty-not-nutty, sweet-not-sweet notes of coconut–fresh, canned, shredded, milked, or otherwise. But put it and pineapple together, and bam! It’s a flavor combination as classic as peanut butter and jelly.
This Piña Colada Ice Cream is the perfect refreshing treat as the weather warms up and a bit of comfort food is called for. Sweeten with honey to taste, or substitute maple syrup if you like. You can even substitute some of the pineapple juice for fresh pineapple if you’d like a thicker blend or just want to take advantage of the extra fiber. Bon appétit!
- 2¼ cups pineapple juice
- 2 cups full-fat coconut milk
- ¼ - ½ cup honey, to taste
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth, then chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Run through an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Your Pina Colada ice cream looks awesome! I’ll be making some later today. I’m following AIP due to a number of Autoimmune health challenges, and while I feel the best that I’ve ever felt, I still enjoy eating fun, healthy, nutritious foods. Thanks for posting the recipe!
How much volume does it make? I normally just use a can of coconut milk and it fills it pretty good. I need a recipe that only makes 1 1/2 quart max. Thanks!
Do you use the whole can of coconut milk or just the cream part and omit the water?
I made this recipe and it came out tasty but quite watery. Next time I’ll add a larger portion of coconut cream instead of milk, especially since the pineapple juice is also plenty of liquid to deal with. When I finished the “iced cream”, it turned into what was more like a huge popsicle.
If one does not have an ice cream maker, how would we modify this recipe?
Marissa, I would start with a google search!
