Pina Colada Sherbet

Annacia's Note:

Tropical flavors of coconut, pineapple, orange, and island rum combine for a four-ingredient wonder of sublime taste. Transform a favorite summer cocktail into a cool and refreshing dessert. The 8 hrs of "cooking" time is freezing time.

• Total Time: 8 hrs 20 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 8 hrs

Ingredients:

Yield: 4 cups

• 1 (15 1/2 ounce) can cream of coconut
• 1 (15 1/4 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup light rum

Directions:

1. In a blender container or food processor bowl combine cream of coconut, undrained pineapple, orange juice, and rum. (If using a food processor, process only half of all the ingredients at a time.)
2. Cover; blend or process until nearly smooth.
3. Pour into a 9x5x3-inch loaf dish or a 2-quart baking dish.
4. Cover; freeze about 4 hours or until firm.
5. Break sherbet into pieces.
6. Place sherbet, about half at a time, in a blender container or food processor bowl.
7. Cover; blend or process until fluffy. (Or, place in a chilled bowl and beat with an electric mixer until fluffy.)
8. Return pineapple mixture to pan.
9. Cover and freeze at least 4 hours or until firm.

Annacia this is fantastic! it is oh so good, this had gone into my favorites and I am going to make this again to serve at my BBQ get togethers... oh forgot to mention I increased the rum to 1/3 cup :) thanks for this great recipe!

This was really yummy. I made mine "virgin" (no rum) and it still tasted like a pina colada. I made the recipe as directed but found my food processor had a hard time breaking down all the hard, fozen chunks into an ice cream consistency -- maybe the rum causes it not to freeze so hard? Anyway, next time I'll use my ice cream maker. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT4.

I made this for dessert following a very spicy South American meal. My FIL had 3 helpings and DH had 2. I used spiced rum instead of plain and used an ice cream maker instead of freezing and breaking in to pieces. This was delicious. I would definitely recommend this recipe--especially after a spicy meal. Made and reviewed for ZWT4. Thanks for posting.
