What’s for Dinner: Strawberry Pina Colada

I love Pina Colada’s … and a Strawberry Pina Colada is even better!

What I used:

• 14 ounce bag of [Dole] frozen sliced strawberries, slightly thawed [I used half of the bag]
• 2 cups of [Dole] canned Pineapple Juice
• 15 ounce can of cream of coconut
• 1/2 cup of half and half
• Ice

How I made the Strawberry Pina Colada:

1. I let half of the fourteen ounce bag of frozen strawberries thaw a little. I let them thaw directly in the blender I was going to use.
2. Once the strawberries were slightly thawed, I pureed them. Add a little water if need be to help get a smooth consistency.
3. Next, transfer your pureed strawberries into your glasses (about 2 tablespoons in each glass). 
4. Rinse your blender.
5. Next, to your blender add in the pineapple juice, cream of coconut, and half in half. Add in about two – three cups of ice (enough to get a slushy texture). Blend until slushy in texture.
6. Pour your pina colada mixture on on top of the strawberry slush. Swirl the mixture around if you would like!
