Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks preferably unsweetened
  • 1 cup coconut milk full-fat for creaminess
  • 1 cup ice cubes adjust for desired thickness

Method
 

  1. Measure out the frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, and ice cubes, then add them all into the blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds until the mixture becomes thick, smooth, and icy, with no chunks remaining.
  3. Stop the blender and check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut milk and blend briefly to loosen.
  4. Once the slushie is creamy and scoopable, pour it into glasses or bowls.
  5. Optional: garnish with a pineapple wedge or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a tropical touch.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the cool, tart, and creamy flavors of your homemade pineapple colada slushie.
Once perfected, this slushie isn’t just a one-hit wonder. It’s a blank canvas for adding a splash of rum or a drizzle of honey. Plus, it’s incredibly adaptable — tweak the sweetness and coconut intensity to fit your mood or pantry.
