Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks Sweet, juicy, and vibrant, frozen pineapple provides a refreshing taste.
- 1/2 cup coconut milk Creamy and rich, coconut milk adds a tropical essence.
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup Optional, to taste for natural sweetness.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract Enhances flavor and aroma.
- 1 pinch salt Balances sweetness.
Optional Additions
- Fresh pineapple chunks Adds texture and flavor.
- Splash of lemon or lime juice Brightens flavors.
- 1 scoop Greek yogurt For additional creaminess.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine frozen pineapple, coconut milk, sweetener (if using), vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk, ensuring the texture remains thick and scoopable.
- For firmer ice cream, place the mixture in the freezer for about 30 minutes before serving.
Assembly
- Layer fresh pineapple chunks into a clear cup or bowl. Spoon or pipe the pineapple ice cream over the chunks in tall swirls.
- Garnish with additional pineapple, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of honey.
Notes
For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk. Frozen pineapple chunks should be completely frozen for best results. Consider adding toasted coconut or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
