- Cover the blender.
- Whirl on medium speed until smooth.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut cream instead of skim milk. You can substitute almond milk for a nutty flavor or try a non-dairy egg substitute for a vegan version. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup. For added depth, consider blending in a pinch of cinnamon or using fresh pineapple instead of canned.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Pineapple Nog in chilled glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg for an elegant touch. It makes a perfect holiday drink alongside dessert items like Grandma'S Pecan Puffs or Jo Ann Gibson'S Chocolate Cupcakes. For a tropical twist, consider pairing it with light appetizers or a fresh fruit platter.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Pineapple Nog in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To enjoy it chilled, simply give it a quick stir or blend again before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change after thawing due to the coconut cream and eggs.
