Ninja Piña Colada Alcohol-Free Slushy Soft Serve

How to Make Ninja Piña Colada Alcohol-Free Slushy Soft Serve

1. 1

   Step 1: Combine the liquids and sweetener

   Pour the coconut milk and pineapple juice into the Ninja pitcher. Add fresh lime juice, agave nectar, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt; blend briefly on low to combine and dissolve the sweetener so the base is smooth and evenly flavored.

   For this step

   • 1 cupCanned full-fat coconut milk
   • 1 cupPineapple juice
   • 2 tablespoonsFresh lime juice
   • 2 tablespoonsAgave nectar (or simple syrup)
   • 1 teaspoonVanilla extract
   
2. 2

   Step 2: Add frozen fruit and ice

   Add the frozen pineapple chunks, frozen banana slices and the crushed ice to the pitcher with the liquid base. Secure the lid and use the Ninja's 'soft serve' or 'smoothie' setting; pulse and blend until a thick, scoopable slushy forms, stopping to scrape the sides as needed.

   For this step

   • 4 cupsFrozen pineapple chunks
   • 1 medium bananaFrozen banana (sliced)
   • 1 cupCrushed ice (add more if needed)
   
3. 3

   Step 3: Adjust texture

   If the mixture is too thick to blend evenly, add 1–2 tablespoons of pineapple juice or coconut milk and blend again. If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen chunks or a handful of ice and pulse until you reach a soft-serve slushy consistency.
   
4. 4

   Step 4: Taste and balance

   Taste a small spoonful and adjust sweetness or brightness: add more agave for sweetness or a squeeze of lime for extra tang. Blend briefly for each adjustment so flavors integrate without over-thinning the slushy.

   Step 5: Serve and garnish

   Scoop the soft-serve slushy into chilled glasses or cones. Sprinkle toasted shredded coconut over each serving and perch a pineapple wedge on the rim for a festive, family-friendly presentation.

   For this step

   • 2 tablespoonsToasted shredded coconut (garnish)
   • 4 wedgesPineapple wedges (for serving)

   Step 6: Storage and make-ahead notes

   If making ahead, store the blended slushy in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 hours; let soften at room temperature 5–10 minutes and re-blend briefly in the Ninja to restore the soft-serve texture. Fresh-frozen fruit works best — if you have only fresh fruit, freeze slices on a tray for several hours first.
