Ingredients
- 3 cups Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
If using fresh pineapple, peel, core, and cut the pineapple into chunks. Measure out 3 cups. If using canned pineapple, drain the pineapple chunks well.
Step 2
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the pineapple chunks, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Step 3
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.
Step 4
Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container. Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the surface of the mixture and gently stir it in to distribute.
Step 5
Cover the container with an airtight lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.
Step 6
Freeze for 4-6 hours, stirring every 1-2 hours to ensure a smooth texture and to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
Step 7
Before serving, let the frozen dessert sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
Step 8
Scoop the dessert into bowls or cups and optionally garnish with extra shredded coconut or a lime wedge. Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical treat!
