How to Make Pineapple Shake

  1. Core and cut a 3 3/4-pound pineapple, reserving all the juice. This should yield approximately 3 cups of pineapple chunks.
  2. Combine 2 cups of the pineapple chunks and 1/2 cup of the reserved pineapple juice in a blender or food processor.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger to the blender.
  4. Blend until the pineapple is coarsely pureed.
  5. Add 2 cups of vanilla ice cream (or your preferred flavor) to the blender.
  6. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  7. If using, add 2 ounces of light or dark rum and blend briefly to combine.
  8. Pour the pineapple shake into a chilled fresh pineapple shell (if using) or tall glasses.
  9. Add straws and garnish with a pineapple wedge or sprig of mint (optional).
  10. Serve immediately and refill as needed.
