Ingredients

• 1 cup coconut cream
• 1 cup pineapple tidbits or fresh pineapple slices
• 1 tablespoon toasted coconut
• Optional: 1-2 tablespoons rum (coconut rum preferred)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients: In this recipe, I’ve used coconut cream, which can be found in the canned food aisle of your grocery store, usually in the ethnic food aisle. You can also use coconut milk found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, but the final texture will be less creamy.
2. Pineapple Preparation: I prefer canned pineapple tidbits because they are more accessible, and I always have them on hand. If you like, you can also use fresh pineapples. Make sure you make even slices before adding them to the pint container.
3. Coconut: You can use sweetened or unsweetened coconut, but I prefer to use toasted coconut because it adds a nice nutty flavor to the ice cream. You can also purchase toasted coconut or make your own by lightly browning it in a skillet on the stovetop for about 3 minutes over medium heat.
4. Optional Rum: I don’t use rum for this recipe, but you can add any rum you desire, like coconut rum. If you add more rum, the mixture may not freeze properly.

How to Make Ninja Creami Pina Colada Lite Ice Cream

1. Mix and Freeze: Firstly, pour 1 cup of coconut cream and 1 cup of pineapple into an empty Ninja Creami pint container and then freeze it for 24 hours; you don’t need to stir it before freezing it.
2. Processing: When it’s been 24 hours, remove the pint from the freezer and remove the lid. Place the Ninja Creami pint into the outer bowl. Turn the outer bowl with the pint in it into the Ninja Creami machine until the outer bowl locks in place. Start the ice cream function to mix and make the ice cream creamy.
3. Add Mix-ins: Once the ice cream command has ended, turn the outer bowl and release it from the Ninja Creami machine. Using a spoon, make a hole through the center of the ice cream from top to bottom. Add 1 tablespoon of toasted coconut and 1 tablespoon of chopped pineapples into this hole.
4. Final Mix: Place the outer bowl with the pint back into the Ninja Creami machine and lock it in place. Carefully choose the mix-ins option. Once the Ninja Creami has completed its mix-in cycle, remove the outer bowl from the machine. Your ice cream is ready to be served.
