Piña Colada Sherbet
Your favorite summer drink in a refreshing scoop-able frozen treat!
Summer is here! At least it is according to the weather. It’s been hot the last few days and I could not have timed trying this piña colada sherbet recipe better. Nothing says summer more than the combo of pineapple, coconut, and rum. And nothing beats the summer heat more than a frozen treat. It’s a winning combination for sure.
One bite of this sherbet will transport you to the beach or to the deck of a cruise ship. On a particularly hot Sunday afternoon my husband I sat in the shade on our front porch, each with a big bowlful of sherbet, and I could close my eyes and almost smell the ocean and feel the sand in between my toes.
This time of year I see recipes for ice cream, sorbets and frozen yogurt, but not really any for sherbet. Why is that? This stuff was delicious, and didn’t last long in our house. It’s a simple frozen blend of pureed pineapple, coconut milk, sugar, rum, and a little lime juice. If you have an ice cream machine (and if you don’t, I suggest you go out and get one), this recipe is a must-try for this summer.

Notes
Oh, I’m totally going to make this for this summer. Thanks!
Oh my, this sounds fantastic! I’m really glad you’re not pregnant anymore so you can give us rum-laden desserts. I still need to meet that sweet little boy of yours!
I think I like this better in sherbet form! And I just love that you served these in martini glasses!
This looks amazing! I love the creamy texture. Definitely making this soon!!
Can you leave out the rum?
Sure!
