Ingredients

  •  ice cubes 
  • 0.8 cup coconut milk light
  • 0.3 cup rum light
  • 1.5 cups pineapple fresh cubed
  • cup pineapple juice 
  • 0.3 cup sugar 
  • tablespoons coconut or sweetened flaked

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • paper towels
  • blender
  • measuring cup

Directions

  1. Place 2 tablespoons flaked sweetened coconut in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, shaking the pan often, about 4-5 minutes or until coconut lightly browns.
  2. Transfer to a bowl, and cool.
  3. Combine 1 1/2 cups cubed fresh pineapple, 1 cup pineapple juice, 3/4 cup light coconut milk (don't rinse measuring cup--see why below), 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup light rum, and 8 ice cubes in a blender. Process until thick and smooth.
  4. Dip a pastry brush or folded paper towel into the residual coconut milk in the measuring cup, and brush the inside and outside rims of 4 tall glasses. Dip the rim of each glass in the coconut to coat. Divide the pia colada among the 4 glasses.
