Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks For a refreshing sweetness.
- 1/2 cup coconut milk Can be substituted with any milk of choice.
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup Optional, adjust to taste.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- to taste fresh pineapple chunks (optional for garnish)
- to taste splash of lemon or lime juice (optional) For brightness.
- 1 scoop Greek yogurt (optional) For extra creaminess.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen pineapple, coconut milk, sweetener (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more of the milk until it holds a thick but firm shape.
- For a firmer texture, place the mixture in the freezer for about 30 minutes before serving.
Assembly
- Layer fresh pineapple chunks into a clear cup or bowl.
- Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully spoon or pipe the pineapple ice cream over the fresh chunks in smooth, tall swirls.
- Garnish with extra pineapple, a sprinkle of coconut flakes, or a drizzle of honey.
Notes
For more intense pineapple flavor, add a few tablespoons of fresh pineapple juice. For a creamier texture, whisk in a scoop of Greek yogurt. Serve in a hollowed-out pineapple or coconut shell for presentation.
