Notes
Do not substitute the cream of coconut with canned coconut milk or coconut cream.
For a deeper flavor use dark rum or a combination of light and dark.
And for optimal flavor, buy fresh pineapple, cut it, and freeze it instead of buying it already frozen. See additional notes and variations in the full article.
