  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed ice

Instructions

  1. Add Ice Cream: Place 2 cups of vanilla ice cream into a blender to form the creamy base of the milkshake.
  2. Add Pineapple Juice: Pour 1 cup of pineapple juice into the blender with the ice cream to infuse the tropical pineapple flavor.
  3. Pour Coconut Milk: Add 1/2 cup of coconut milk to enhance the shake with rich coconut creaminess.

  5. Add Milk: Pour 1/4 cup of milk to help with consistency and blendability.
  6. Add Sugar: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar to balance the natural tartness and add extra sweetness.

  9. Add Coconut Flakes: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of coconut flakes into the blender for texture and coconut flavor.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar or using a sugar substitute.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based ice cream and milk alternatives like almond or soy milk.
  • To make it extra cold and thick, freeze the crushed pineapple beforehand.
  • Adding a splash of rum can turn this milkshake into an adult cocktail variation.
  • Blend at high speed to achieve the best smooth texture without ice chunks.
