Ingredients
  

2 medium ripe pineapples

1 can (14 oz) coconut cream

1 cup coconut milk

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

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Toasted coconut flakes for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapples: Start by cutting the tops off the pineapples. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut around the inner edge to separate the flesh from the skin, creating a hollow cup. Reserve the pineapple flesh for the filling and place the hollowed cups upside down to drain any excess juice.

    Make the Coconut Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut cream, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Blend the Pineapple Flesh: Chop the reserved pineapple flesh into chunks and place them in a blender. Blend until smooth. You can leave some small chunks for texture if desired.

        Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the blended pineapple into the coconut mixture. Make sure the ingredients are well combined for a harmonious flavor.

          Fill the Cups: Carefully pour the coconut-pineapple mixture into the hollow pineapple cups, filling them to the top.

            Freeze: Place the filled pineapple cups in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

              Serve: Once frozen, remove the cups from the freezer. If desired, use a fork to scrape the top layers for a slushy texture. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and toasted coconut flakes before serving.

                Enjoy: Slice your frozen coconut pineapple cups into wedges and let everyone indulge in this tropical treat!
