  1. Step 1: Blend the Base: Add the cold pineapple juice, coconut cream, and crushed ice to your blender.

  4. Step 4: Pour the Swirl: Gently pour the blended coconut-pineapple mixture over the sherbet in the glass.
  5. Step 5: Create the Swirl: Gently swirl a spoon or straw through the drink a few times to create ribbons of color, but don't over-mix.

  7. Step 7: Serve & Enjoy: Add a straw and serve immediately to enjoy ice cold.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh, as the texture changes upon melting. To store leftovers, keep the blended liquid base in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day and re-blend before pouring over fresh sherbet.
