2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
1 cup coconut cream
2 cups pineapple juice
Ice (as needed for consistency)

Garnishes:

Maraschino cherries
Pineapple wedges
Fresh mint leaves
Optional: paper umbrellas, lime slices, cocktail straws

Directions

In a blender, I combine the frozen pineapple, coconut cream, pineapple juice, and a handful of ice. I blend until it’s thick, creamy, and smooth.
I pour the mixture into a large bowl or even a hollowed-out pineapple for extra flair.
I top it with pineapple wedges, cherries, mint leaves, and any festive extras I have on hand.
I serve immediately with long straws or small glasses so everyone can scoop and sip.

Variations

I blend in mango or banana for an extra fruity twist.
I add a splash of lime juice if I want to balance the sweetness with a bit of tang.
For a creamy boost, I sometimes mix in a bit of vanilla yogurt.
I layer different fruit blends—like strawberry or blueberry—for a colorful swirl effect.
Topping it with shredded coconut adds a fun texture and flavor.

Storage/Reheating

I can prepare the mix ahead of time and freeze it. Before serving, I let it thaw slightly and re-blend for the perfect texture.
Leftovers go into a freezer-safe container and stay good for up to 2 days.
Freezing the mix in ice cube trays lets me make single-serve slushies anytime.
I always re-blend before serving to bring back that smooth, creamy consistency.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, I blend the mixture and freeze it, then re-blend it right before serving for the perfect texture.

What can I use if I don’t have frozen pineapple?

I use fresh pineapple and add extra ice, or I freeze fresh chunks the night before to keep the texture just right.

How thick should the mixture be?

I like it thick enough to hold garnishes on top, but still smooth and sippable. I adjust with more juice or ice as needed.

Can I use coconut milk instead of coconut cream?

Yes, but I prefer coconut cream for a richer, creamier texture. Coconut milk works if I want a lighter version.

How do I make it more filling?

I sometimes add frozen banana or a scoop of Greek yogurt for a more smoothie-like feel that’s still fun and shareable.
