Coconut-Banana Colada




We tried this the other night after a nice steak dinner. It was so wonderful and was the perfect "dessert" to follow our dinner. We sat out on the patio in the warm air, drinking our cold drinks. Amazing. I hope you enjoy this.
  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled, quartered and frozen
  • 1 cup canned crushed pineapple in juice
  • 3 ounces coconut rum or dark rum
  • 1 cup canned cream of coconut (available in the International aisle)
  • 1 lime, halved
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut, toasted, for garnish (optional)

Place the bananas and pineapple in a blender; puree until smooth. Add the rum, cream of coconut, 2 cups ice cubes and the juice of half the lime; blend until smooth and frothy. Thinly slice the remaining lime half. Pour the colada into glasses; garnish with lime slices and toasted coconut, if desired.
