Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (280g) frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut cream (full-fat canned, e.g. Chaokoh)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh pineapple juice or water
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, adjusts sweetness to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Optional garnishes: fresh pineapple wedges, toasted coconut flakes, maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Measure out 2 cups (280g) frozen pineapple chunks and 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut cream. If using canned coconut milk, chill it overnight and scoop the thick cream off the top.
- Place frozen pineapple, coconut cream, 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh pineapple juice or water, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional) into the blender.
- Start blending on low speed to break up the frozen chunks, then ramp up to high. Blend for about 1 to 2 minutes until you get a smooth, slushie consistency. Stop to scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed.
- Check texture and sweetness. If too thick, add a splash more pineapple juice or water; if too thin, add a few more frozen pineapple pieces and pulse again. Taste and add more sweetener or lime juice if desired.
- Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with pineapple wedges, toasted coconut flakes, or a cherry. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use frozen pineapple chunks for the best icy texture. Full-fat coconut cream is preferred over coconut milk for creaminess. Adjust sweetness after blending to taste. Clean blender immediately after use to avoid sticky residue. Leftovers can be frozen up to 24 hours and re-blended before serving.
