How to Make Pina Colada Trifle

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained, with 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup pineapple juice (reserved from can). Let it sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
  2. In another bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 (13.5 ounce) can cream of coconut with 1/4 cup white sugar and 2 tablespoons rum (optional). Stir until smooth.
  4. Layer the trifle in a large glass bowl or individual serving glasses. Begin with a layer of crushed pineapple mixture, followed by a layer of whipped cream, then a layer of cream of coconut mixture.
  5. Repeat the layers at least twice, ending with a layer of whipped cream.
  6. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes, maraschino cherries, or pineapple wedges. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Enjoy your tropical getaway!
