🍹 Zero-Carb Piña Colada Recipe (Keto-Friendly)
Servings: 1
Net Carbs: 0g
Prep Time: 5 minutes
🥥 Ingredients:
Liquids:
-
2 oz (60 ml) white rum
Choose a pure, unflavored rum (most distilled spirits have 0 carbs).
-
1 oz (30 ml) unsweetened coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
Avoid “coconut beverage” – use the thick, creamy kind.
-
1 oz (30 ml) heavy cream
Adds richness and creaminess.
-
1 oz (30 ml) sugar-free pineapple syrup or extract
Look for brands like Torani Sugar-Free Pineapple Syrup or use a few drops of pineapple extract.
Sweetener:
-
1–2 tsp powdered erythritol (or monk fruit, allulose, etc.) – optional
Adjust to your sweetness preference.
Ice:
-
1 cup crushed ice (more if needed for texture)
🍍 Optional Additions:
-
¼ tsp xanthan gum – for a thicker, smoothie-like texture
-
1–2 drops of coconut extract – for extra coconut flavor if needed
-
A slice of lime or cherry for garnish (omit for 0-carb strictness)
🥣 Instructions:
-
Add Ingredients to Blender:
Combine the rum, coconut milk, heavy cream, pineapple syrup/extract, sweetener, and ice in a blender. -
Blend Until Smooth:
Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until creamy and slushy. Add more ice if needed for consistency. -
Taste and Adjust:
Taste the mix and adjust sweetness or add more pineapple/coconut extract if needed. -
Serve:
Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy! Garnish if desired (or skip for strict zero-carb).
✅ Tips for Success:
-
For a non-alcoholic version: Skip the rum and add 1 oz of extra coconut milk or heavy cream.
-
Batch it: You can scale the recipe up and freeze the blended mix for quick future servings.
-
Ice cream twist: Add a scoop of zero-carb vanilla keto ice cream to turn this into a dessert cocktail.
