Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups ripe pineapple chunks preferably frozen for a creamier texture
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup optional, for added sweetness

Equipment

• Blender
• Knife

Method

 

1. Place the frozen pineapple chunks into the blender, ensuring they are evenly distributed for smooth blending.
2. Add the ice cubes to the blender on top of the pineapple.
3. Pour in the honey or agave syrup for a touch of sweetness if desired.
4. Cover the blender securely and blend on high speed until the mixture is thick, smooth, and slushy, about 30-40 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
5. Check the consistency; it should be thick and icy but scoopable. If it’s too thick, add a splash of water and blend briefly.
6. Pour the pineapple slushie into glasses, using a spoon if necessary to scoop it out smoothly.
7. Garnish with a small pineapple wedge or a sprig of mint for presentation.
8. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon for enjoying the refreshing, icy treat.

For an extra depth of flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice before blending.
