π Tropical Pineapple Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 2
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Freeze your fruit: For that thick, soft-serve texture shown in the photo, ensure your pineapple chunks are completely frozen before starting.
-
Combine: Add the frozen pineapple, coconut milk, and lime juice into a high-speed blender.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase. You may need to use a tamper or stop and scrape down the sides to help the frozen fruit break down.
-
Adjust: If itβs too thick, add a splash more coconut milk. Taste itβif the pineapple is tart, blend in your sweetener of choice.
-
Serve: Pour into mason jars.
-
Style: Replicate the photo by placing a pineapple wedge on the rim, dropping two cherries on top of the drink, and serving with a glass straw.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Texture
-
The “Swirl”: If you want the defined ridges of a Dole Whip, put the blended mixture into a piping bag with a large star tip and pipe it into the jars.
-
Keep it Cold: If the blender friction melts the mix too much, pop the jars in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving to firm them back up.
