🍍 Ingredients:
- 3 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (from a can is best)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (fresh is best)
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
🍦 Instructions:
1. Blend it all: Add frozen pineapple, coconut milk, lime juice, and sweetener (if using) to a high-speed blender or food processor.
2. Whip to perfection: Blend until thick, smooth, and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut milk.
3. Serve immediately: Spoon into bowls or swirl into cones for that soft-serve feel. Enjoy right away!
🍽️ Serving Tips:
- Swirl into cones and top with toasted coconut or a cherry for a theme-park vibe.
- Serve in a hollowed-out pineapple for party wow factor.
- Pair with grilled fruit skewers for a tropical dessert platter.
🌟 Creative Variations:
- Banana Boost: Add 1/2 frozen banana for extra creaminess.
- Coconut-Lime Twist: Blend in lime zest and top with shredded coconut.
- Spicy-Sweet: Sprinkle with Tajín or chili-lime salt for a spicy tropical edge.
🛠️ Troubleshooting:
- Too icy? Let the pineapple thaw for 3–5 minutes before blending.
- Too runny? Add more frozen fruit or freeze the mixture for 15–20 minutes.
- Not sweet enough? Add a drizzle of maple syrup or a splash of pineapple juice.
❄️ Storage:
- Best served immediately.
- For leftovers, freeze in an airtight container. Re-blend or let soften at room temp before eating.
- Do not refreeze after reblending.
