Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, if you’re in a pinch)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or honey, for a natural sweetness)
- 2 cups ice cubes
- A splash of fresh lime juice, for a zesty kick
- Pineapple slices and maraschino cherries, for garnish
Feel free to substitute the coconut milk with almond milk for a different twist, and adjust the sweetness to your liking. After all, recipes are best when they’re a reflection of your own taste.
Instructions
- Start by preparing your blender. In our household, the blender is as precious as a family heirloom, as my mum would say. Make sure it’s clean and ready for action.
- Add the fresh pineapple chunks into the blender. If using canned pineapple, ensure it’s well-drained to avoid a watery blend.
- Pour in the coconut milk and coconut cream, followed by the granulated sugar. This is the heart of the drink—the creamy base that brings everything together.
- Throw in the ice cubes. This step is where the magic begins, turning your ingredients into a frosty delight.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture is silky and all ingredients are well-incorporated.
- Add a splash of lime juice for that extra zing that elevates the flavors.
- Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with pineapple slices and maraschino cherries, and serve immediately. Enjoy the moment as you sip, allowing the flavors to whisk you away to sunnier climes.
