Pina Colada Sorbet-2

We’re still on the Gulf Coast of Florida but have traveled north to Clearwater Beach while my husband attends a work related convention. I’m still on vacation and still enjoying fresh fish and tropical drinks with little umbrellas 🙂  I wish I was able to bring some of this wonderful Pina Colada Sorbet with me on vacation.  This creamy frozen treat is easy to make, light and absolutely delicious!

 

Pina Colada Sorbet-1

The sorbet is a little bit healthier than most sweetened with pineapple and just a little sugar.  The coconut taste is rich and prominent and the texture is great.  A splash of spiced rum makes it perfect!  If your pantry isn’t full of pumpkin yet, hang on to the last days of summer with this refreshing frozen treat.

 

Pina Colada Sorbet-3

Minutes in the blender and a few hours in the freezer – done and done!  Top with toasted coconut and serve.

Coconut water, coconut milk and cream of coconut ensure the best coconut flavor. Combined with fresh pineapple and a splash of spiced rum - easy Pina Colada perfection!

Hurricane Erika has lost her punch and turned into a major rain event here in Florida.  Hopefully it will blow out to sea soon so I can get on with my holiday!  Have a wonderful week and thanks so much for stopping by.

    Love anything with a pina colada flavor! But I think ice cream and sorbet are the best. It’s still hot here, so this would be totally welcome. Thanks!

    This color is so inviting Tricia! It’s just so pretty. The flavors sound fantastic. You’ve given me an idea to try to make this in my Vitamix which has a freezing setting. What a fun surprise for my family on this 90 degree day. Hoping the sun will be shining on you in Florida soon!

    This sounds wonderful, Tricia! I have to confess that yesterday I had a lazy Sunday and actually made myself a pina colada! It didn’t have an umbrella but it was still good. Next time maybe I’ll float a scoop of this on top!

    Your ice creams are the best — you need to write a book! This flavor sounds incredible, I love that you were able to use coconut water in it, I wouldn’t have thought of that. Stay safe and dry!!

    Wow – that texture looks divine, Tricia! The fellas at my house enjoy their share of pina coladas and this sorbet would be a real treat! I love coconut sorbets and I’m thinking this is even better. Glad you’re still relaxing and enjoying an extended vacation!

      Add an extra splash of rum on top and you won’t need to make the drink! Thanks so much Monica 🙂 Hope the start of school is going well – perhaps you are enjoying your break 🙂 Until the homework starts anyway!
