Recipe Variations
- Adding spices can be a great way to incorporate a little extra zing into your milkshakes. Pineapple milkshakes can be enhanced with a pinch of cinnamon or ginger. These warm spices make the shake even more refreshing and delicious. Don’t overdo it, though; an eighth of a teaspoon would be plenty of cinnamon or ginger for a recipe of this size.
- While this recipe calls for blending the pineapple until it is fairly smooth, you can always leave bigger chunks and eat your shake with a spoon. If you want it thick, blend the pineapple on its own first, then add the ice cream, then decide how much milk to add.
Tips
- If fresh pineapple isn’t in season or available at your local store, canned and frozen versions will do just as well.
- Look for canned pineapple that is packed in juice instead of syrup because it will have a more natural flavor and your shake won’t end up overly sweet.
- Make sure to defrost frozen pineapple before blending.
