Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whole milk (or milk alternative)
- 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
- 4 count Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (optional for topping)
- Pineapple wedge (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the pan. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and forms a smooth mixture, about 2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), ice cubes, and the buttered sugar mixture from the saucepan.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and frothy, ensuring no pineapple chunks remain.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or spice levels if desired by adding a bit more brown sugar or cinnamon.
Pour the smoothie into two mugs or heatproof glasses.
Optional: Top with whipped cream and garnish with a pineapple wedge for an extra touch of flair.
Serve warm and enjoy your Hot Buttered Pineapple Smoothie!
