Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 4 cups frozen pineapple chunks
– 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk, chilled
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Instructions
1. Place 4 cups of frozen pineapple chunks into the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender.
2. Add 1 (13.5 oz) can of chilled, full-fat coconut milk to the processor bowl.
3. Pour 1/4 cup of granulated sugar into the mixture.
4. Squeeze 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice directly into the bowl.
5. Secure the lid tightly on the food processor or blender.
6. Process the mixture on high speed for 45-60 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula once halfway through, until it is completely smooth and has a soft-serve consistency. Tip: For the creamiest texture, ensure your coconut milk is well-chilled before blending to prevent it from separating.
7. Transfer the smooth sorbet mixture into a freezer-safe container, using the spatula to get all of it out of the bowl.
8. Smooth the top of the sorbet with the spatula to create an even surface.
9. Place a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface of the sorbet to prevent ice crystals from forming.
10. Seal the container with an airtight lid.
11. Freeze the sorbet for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm enough to scoop. Tip: If the sorbet freezes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
12. Use an ice cream scoop to portion the sorbet into bowls for serving. Tip: For an elegant presentation, garnish with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes or a fresh mint leaf just before serving.
Offering a brilliantly smooth and creamy texture without any dairy, this sorbet bursts with the bright, tangy flavor of pineapple balanced by the rich, subtle sweetness of coconut. Serve it in chilled glasses for a refreshing dessert, or get creative by using it as a filling for homemade ice cream sandwiches between two chewy coconut cookies.

Ingredients
– 2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
– 2 tbsp honey
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions

2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp vanilla extract, stirring with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
3. Tip: For easier mixing, ensure the yogurt is at room temperature to prevent clumping with the honey.
4. Pat 2 cups fresh pineapple cubes dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which helps the yogurt coating adhere better.
5. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each pineapple cube into the yogurt mixture, coating it evenly on all sides.
6. Tip: Hold the cube over the bowl for a few seconds to let any excess yogurt drip off, preventing a messy freeze.
7. Place each coated pineapple cube onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart to prevent sticking.
8. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze the bites for at least 4 hours, or until they are solid and firm to the touch.
9. Tip: For best results, freeze the bites in a single layer without covering them initially to avoid condensation that can make them icy.
10. Once fully frozen, transfer the bites to an airtight container or freezer bag for storage, where they will keep for up to 2 months.
Chilled and creamy, these bites offer a tangy-sweet contrast with the yogurt’s smoothness enveloping the juicy pineapple bursts. Serve them straight from the freezer as a quick snack, or layer them into a fruit salad for an extra cool twist that delights in every bite.
