🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks 🍍
  • ½ cup coconut milk 🥥

👩‍🍳 Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions

❄️ Step 1: Freeze the Pineapple

  • If using fresh pineapple:
    • Peel and cut into chunks.

👉 This helps everything blend evenly.

🍦 Step 4: Make It Creamy

  • Continue blending until the texture becomes:
    • Smooth
    • Thick
    • Creamy like soft-serve ice cream 😍
  • If too thick:
    • Add 1 tablespoon coconut milk at a time.

⚠️ Don’t add too much liquid or it will become runny.

🌀 Step 5: Serve

  • Scoop into bowls or glasses.
  • For a fancy swirl look:
    • Put mixture into a piping bag.
    • Pipe in circles like ice cream shop soft serve. ✨
  • Serve immediately before melting. 😋

💡 Tips

✅ Freeze pineapple in small chunks for easier blending.
✅ A tiny pinch of salt makes the pineapple taste sweeter.
✅ Add a little vanilla for extra flavor.

❓Q&A

❓Can I use another milk?

✅ Yes! Almond milk or oat milk also works.

❓Can I freeze leftovers?

✅ Yes, but let it soften for 10 minutes before eating again.
