Picture this: you are lounging on the sand underneath a palm tree. The gentle waves roll up the beach and roll out, creating a peaceful sound. Someone from your hotel comes up and says, “Excuse me, I believe you ordered this.” And that person presents you with a refreshing piña colada. You accept it graciously and continue to enjoy your beach day.
While this recipe isn’t a sugary alcoholic beverage, it does provide you that same beachy feeling because of how tropical it is. This ice cream is creamy, rich, and will have you dreaming of your next vacation. The only difference is that you can make this whenever you want and the only thing you need to leave the house for is a few ingredients. We don’t want to discourage you from traveling, though. Traveling can humble you, helping you realize that there is so much more out there, and so much for you to learn and experience. One of the best thing to experience while you travel is food!
In honor of all the people who love to travel, we present you with a dairy-free piña colada ice cream. The great thing about this recipe is that it comes together very easily. Blend the ingredients together in a blender and refrigerate for an hour or so to cool. Pour that mixture into a simple ice cream maker and let the magic happen. It should take about 20 min for it to reach a luxurious, creamy consistency. We hope you love it!
