Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

  

• 3 cups frozen pineapple chunks preferably frozen for best texture
• 1 cup coconut milk full-fat for creaminess
• 1 cup ice crushed or cubed

Equipment

• Blender
• Measuring Cups and Spoons

Method

 

1. Combine the frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, and ice in the blender.
2. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frosty, about 30-40 seconds. You should see a thick, icy consistency with no large chunks remaining.
3. Stop the blender and check the texture. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut milk; if too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend briefly again.
4. Once the slushie is velvety and well-blended, pour it into glasses or cups.
5. Garnish with small pineapple pieces or a sprinkle of shredded coconut if desired for a festive presentation.
6. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy the cool, tropical flavors.

Enjoy experimenting with different fruits or adding a splash of rum for an adult twist. Either way, this drink whisks you away to sandy shores and sun-drenched afternoons without leaving your kitchen.

This blog is built on a simple idea that food is not just about the final dish, but about everything that happens while you’re making it. The thinking, the tasting, the adjusting, the learning, and the quiet moments in between. Food has been a constant presence in my life, not as something flashy or perfect, but as something deeply grounding. Cooking has always felt like a process worth savoring, even when it’s messy, slow, or imperfect.
