Notes
- Use coconut cream for a richer and creamier texture; coconut milk works well for a lighter option.
- The pineapple extract is optional but enhances the tropical flavor without additional calories.
- The monk fruit allulose sweetener can be omitted if you prefer a naturally sweet drink from pineapple only.
- Adjust the rum quantity to taste or substitute with a non-alcoholic rum alternative for a mocktail version.
- For extra garnish, try adding a sprig of mint or a slice of fresh pineapple.
