2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks, coconut milk, and cream of coconut. Add a handful of ice cubes for a chilled, slushy texture.

3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more ice if desired.

4. Serve: Pour the Non-Alcoholic Piña Colada into a tall glass. Optionally, garnish with a slice of pineapple or a cherry on top for a tropical flair.

Tips for Success:

• Cream of Coconut: Ensure you’re using cream of coconut, not coconut cream or coconut milk. Cream of coconut has a sweetened consistency that adds richness and sweetness to the drink.

• Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture before blending. Depending on your preference, you can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less cream of coconut.

• Texture: For a thicker texture, use more ice cubes. For a smoother consistency, blend for a longer duration.
