Instructions
Prepare Ingredients: Soften the ice cream at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Cut fresh pineapple into chunks. Toast coconut, if desired.
Blend: Add ice cream, coconut cream, pineapple juice, pineapple chunks, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until smooth, about 30-45 seconds, adjusting with pineapple juice if needed.
Serve: Pour the milkshake into chilled glasses. Top with whipped cream, toasted coconut, a maraschino cherry, pineapple wedge, and a paper umbrella for fun.
Notes
For dairy-free, use coconut milk ice cream.
For a boozy version, add a splash of rum to each milkshake.
For a thicker milkshake, reduce the amount of pineapple juice or add more ice cream.
To avoid thin milkshakes, ensure the ice cream is softened properly.
