1 ounce heavy whipping cream
6 ounces freshly pressed pineapple juice substitute Dole canned pineapple juice if fresh is not available
1 ounce Coco Lopez cream of coconut
2 ounces white rum like Bacardi Silver or Superior
½ cup crushed ice

Remove the top of the pineapple, then cut it into 4 wedges trying to avoid the center.
Slice the flesh away from the outside of the pineapple and cut into chunks.
Place the chunks into a large measuring cup or bowl and smash with a potato masher to release the juice.
Pour the juice through a fine mesh strainer to remove the crushed bits of pineapple.
Pour the pineapple juice, cream of coconut, rum, crushed ice and heavy cream into a blender.
Place the lid on the blender and puree for 15 seconds.
Pour into a Poco Grande glass and serve garnished with a fresh pineapple wedge and straw.

You will need 1 large pineapple to get 6 ounces of juice. Substitute Dole canned pineapple juice if not available.
This cocktail can also be served in a hurricane glass.
