Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh pineapple, chopped into small pieces

1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk, chilled overnight

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

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Juice of 1 lime

1 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for added creaminess)

Toasted coconut flakes, for garnish

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Blend the Pineapple: In a high-speed blender, add the chopped fresh pineapple. Blend on high until smooth, approximately 30 seconds. For a chunkier texture, blend for a shorter duration, allowing small pineapple bits to remain.

    Prepare the Coconut Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the chilled coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, lime juice, and Greek yogurt (if desired). Use a whisk to blend the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well-combined.

      Combine Ingredients: Carefully fold the blended pineapple mixture into the coconut base using a spatula. Make sure to mix gently, aiming for an even distribution of pineapple throughout the mixture. Taste the whip, and if a sweeter flavor is desired, gradually add more honey or maple syrup to reach your preference.

        Chill the Mixture: Spoon the combined mixture into individual serving cups or bowls. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour. This chilling step will enhance the flavors and allow the mixture to firm up slightly.

          Serve with Style: When ready to serve, take the cups out of the refrigerator. Give the mixture a gentle stir to achieve a fluffy consistency. Top each serving with a generous sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes and a sprig of fresh mint for a vibrant finish.

            Savor the Moment: Enjoy your sweet pineapple whip cups immediately for a refreshing and delicious tropical treat that’s sure to brighten your day!
