Pina Colada Floats

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp coconut milk
• 1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
• 1/8 tsp imitation coconut extract or flavor
• 1/2 cup lemon lime flavored soda
• 1/2 cup pineapple sherbet
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt
• 2 Tbsp light corn syrup
• 2 Tbsp heavy cream
• 3 cups chilled pineapple puree that has been forced through a fine sieve

Directions

1. In a bowl whisk together coconut milk, sugar and imitation coconut extract.
2. Stir mixture about 30 seconds until sugar dissolves.
3. Pour lemon lime soda into mixture and give it a quick stir (you just don't want to stir out the carbonation so barely stir once you add the soda just to combine ingredients).
4. Scoop pineapple sherbet into a glass then pour soda mixture over sherbet.
5. Serve immediately. *If you don't have an ice cream maker you could also use store bought pineapple sherbet, but if you do then I think the homemade sherbet is a must =).
6. My recipe for Pineapple Sherbet is mostly pineapple where as store bought is often mostly water and sugar.
