### Instructions:
#### 1. **Prepare the Strawberry Piña Colada:**
– In a blender, combine the fresh strawberries, pineapple chunks, coconut cream, Malibu rum, ice cubes, and honey or sugar if you like a bit of extra sweetness.
– Blend everything until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
– Add the vanilla extract and blend for another few seconds to combine.
– Pour the drink into chilled glasses and garnish with a slice of pineapple and a strawberry on the rim. Serve immediately for a refreshing tropical vibe!
#### 2. **Make the Malibu Frosting:**
– In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until it’s light and fluffy (about 2 minutes with an electric mixer).
– Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and continue beating until smooth and creamy.
– Pour in the Malibu rum, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed for another 3-5 minutes, or until the frosting is light and fluffy.
– Taste and add a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness if needed.
#### 3. **Assemble the Dish:**
– Once the Strawberry Piña Colada is prepared and served in glasses, you can either spoon or pipe the Malibu frosting on top. This frosting works beautifully when piped into fun swirls or dolloped generously for a creamy, decadent topping.
– If desired, you can top the frosting with a little shredded coconut for added texture or sprinkle some extra rum for an extra boozy twist!
### Tips and Variations:
– **Non-Alcoholic Version:** For those who prefer not to drink alcohol, you can omit the Malibu rum from both the drink and the frosting. Instead, use coconut extract or rum-flavored syrup in the frosting for that tropical essence.
– **More Fruity Flavors:** Feel free to get creative by adding other fruits like mango or banana to the Piña Colada mix. They pair wonderfully with the coconut and pineapple flavors.
– **Frozen Delight:** For an even cooler treat, freeze the Piña Colada mixture in ice cube trays and blend it later to make a frozen slushie version.
