Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
If using fresh pineapple, peel, core, and cut the pineapple into chunks. Measure out 3 cups. If using canned pineapple, drain the pineapple chunks well.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the pineapple chunks, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.
Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container. Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the surface of the mixture and gently stir it in to distribute.
Cover the container with an airtight lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.
Freeze for 4-6 hours, stirring every 1-2 hours to ensure a smooth texture and to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
Before serving, let the frozen dessert sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
Scoop the dessert into bowls or cups and optionally garnish with extra shredded coconut or a lime wedge. Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical treat!
