I find white rum more suitable as it tastes more neutral. I used coconut rum (Malibu) to incorporate intense coconut flavor. If you want your drink thicker without adding Coco Lopez I would recommend adding fresh frozen pineapple (instructions are in the note section of the recipe card). It does make the drink more creamy and thick, but doesn’t have any flavor and is just fatty. Some recipes also call for regular cream (heavy cream made from cow’s milk) which is, in my opinion, a huge misunderstanding.You can make a homemade cream of coconut without the weird ingredients where you can control the amount of sugar – here’s the recipe: homemade cream of coconut (Coco Lopez alternative). If cream of coconut is what you have on hand, you can of course use it in place of coconut milk.
To reduce the sweetness but retain wonderful coconut flavor I used coconut rum. Its pros are: it’s thick and tastes intensely coconutty but there are also cons: it’s very sweet (plus the long ingredient list). Cream of coconut – This is a sweetened coconut cream that contains emulsifiers, stabilisers and growth inhibiting agents (its ingredient list doesn’t look very appealing).Pina Colada prepared with coconut cream is in my opinion too fatty. Coconut cream: Like mentioned above, this is the thick part of coconut milk.Adding coconut milk leads to a thinner drink and incorporates the coconut flavor without being overly sweet. For this recipe, you need to stir these two parts together (or shake with the can prior to opening it). Natural coconut milk that doesn’t contain any stabilizers consists of two parts: thick part on top (coconut cream) and thin part at the bottom (coconut water). Coconut milk: I used regular canned full-fat coconut milk.
What is the difference between coconut milk, coconut cream, and cream of coconut? Most recipes call for cream of coconut, but I used coconut milk. This is the ingredient that causes the most confusion. Use only fresh pineapple, not canned pineapple, which is too sweet. Add 3.2oz/90g (seven 1-inch/2.5 cm cubes) frozen pineapple chunks to the drink and blend with the other ingredients. To make the drink with fresh pineapple you need to freeze pineapple chunks. The drink made with fresh pineapple is naturally thicker and tastes intensely of pineapple. It requires less work (peeling and chopping the pineapple), you can also enjoy the drink right away (the fresh pineapple needs to be frozen first). Making the drink with store-bought pineapple juice is easier than with fresh pineapple. You can use either pineapple juice or fresh pineapple – I’m providing two variations of the recipe below. I’ve tested many drink variations and below I will explain which ingredients I’ve chosen and why. My perfect Piña Colada recipe is refreshing, not too sweet, and tastes distinctly like coconut and pineapple. Original Piña Colada recipe consists of only 4 ingredients: pineapple juice, white rum, cream of coconut, and ice. Food was fabulous! Looking forward to a return visit.Now I will talk a little bit about the ingredients.
