I love coconut milk. What I don’t love is that I never end up using a whole can. I always store the leftovers in the fridge with the intention of doing something with them. That something never happens. Ever. Not. even. once. #epicfail Then I came across this awesome article about freezing coconut milk. Sheer genius I tell ya!
I thought about making a smoothie with the coconut milk ice cubes but with summertime in full swing I thought a fun and fruity piña colada would be a nice summer treat. My whole family enjoyed these and they were so easy to make. Yea for coconut milk ice cubes!

I opted to keep this drink family friendly and didn’t use any alcohol but if you wanted to make an adult version you could add some rum in to the mix.
