Ingredients
  

  • about 1½ cups pineapple chunks fresh > canned, but both fine
  • 1 cup coconut cream – not milk that’s too thin
  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • 1 –2 tbsp sugar or honey taste first
  • 1½ cups crushed ice
  • Optional things I toss in sometimes:
  • squeeze of lime → brightens it
  • teeny drop vanilla extract → adds warmth
  • slice of pineapple or cherry → because why no

Equipment

  • Blender (any kind, even the noisy one)Knife + board for pineappleSpoon for that thick coconut creamCouple of glasses—chilled if you remembered

Method
 

How I Usually Do It
  1. Dump stuff in.
  2. Pineapple, coconut cream, juice, sweetener – straight into the blender.
  3. Blend until it looks smoothish.
  4. Don’t overthink it.
  5. Add ice.
  6. Start with one cup, blend again.
  7. Too runny? more ice. Too thick? more juice. Go by feel.
  8. Taste.
  9. Always taste. Every pineapple’s different.
  10. If it’s too sweet, squeeze lime. If it’s flat, bit more cream.
  11. Pour & enjoy.
  12. Into cold glasses. Garnish only if you’ve got time.
  13. First sip = instant good mood.
