Recipe: Pina Colada Icy Poles

Photo: Tristan Lutze

Few drinks scream “beach holiday” like the pina colada, and the frozen version is no exception. Packed with the flavour of pineapple and mellowed with the smoothness of coconut cream, think of this as a boozy, delicious, homemade take on a Splice bar; the flavour of summer.

Makes six icy poles
10 minutes preparation time
4 hours freezing time

Ingredients
90ml Malibu or other white rum
180ml pineapple juice
90ml coconut cream
Pineapple slices

Method
Arrange the slices of pineapple (cut into smaller pieces if necessary) in the icy pole mould, leaving room to insert the stick down the middle. Combine the remaining ingredients in a jug and pour carefully into the mould until 95 per cent full (the liquid will expand slightly as it freezes).

Insert sticks. If using wooden sticks, stretch a single piece of cling wrap over the top of the mould. Poke the sticks through the cling wrap to keep them in place.

Freeze for at least four hours, then remove and enjoy. If the icy poles are difficult to remove, submerge the mould in warm water for 10 seconds to loosen them.
