Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (or frozen)

1 cup canned coconut milk (full fat for creaminess)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional: Lime zest for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple: If using fresh pineapple, peel, core, and chop the pineapple into small chunks. If using frozen, allow to thaw slightly for easier blending.

    Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), shredded coconut, lime juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

      Taste Test: Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or lime juice as needed. Blend again briefly if you add anything.

        Prepare the Mold: Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or silicone mold with cooking spray or coconut oil for easy removal.

          Pour Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

            Freeze: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.

              Slice and Serve: Once frozen, remove the bars from the pan. If necessary, let sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to slice. Cut into bars or squares.

                Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with lime zest before serving for an extra burst of flavor.

                  Store Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy your tropical treats any time!
