Make a refreshing frozen dessert inspired by the popular Caribbean cocktail, the Pina Colada. This granita is light and low-calorie, unlike traditional ice cream, and its tropical flavor is pleasantly refreshing in hot weather. Blend chopped pineapple with coconut water and coconut cream in a blender, then freeze the mixture, scraping it regularly with a fork until it's fluffy and easy to scoop and eat with a spoon. For a more adult flavor, drizzle each serving of granita with rum before serving and enjoy your frozen Pina Colada.
