Ingredients
- 500 millilitre fresh pineapple chunks 2 cups
- 250 millilitre ice 1 cup
- 1-2 tablespoons honey (optional) or any sweetener of your choice, if needed
Instructions
- Start by peeling the pineapple and cutting it into cubes. Measure out a cup of pineapple and add it to the blender.To make more or less pineapple slush, you can adjust the amount of pineapple you use. A good rule of thumb is to use twice as much pineapple as water. For example, if you want to make a larger batch, you can use 5 cups of pineapple with 2.5 cups of ice. If you want it sweeter, add sweetener according to your taste.
- Blend the pineapple until it reaches a mostly smooth consistency, which usually takes around 20 seconds.
- Add the ice and blend until the ice breaks up into a rough slush. Be careful not to blend it too finely, as you want to maintain that slushy texture.
- Taste for sweetness and add the honey according to taste. You can also use maple syrup, coconut sugar, castor sugar or a powdered sweetener.
- Pour into glasses and add a fun straw or a cocktail umbrella.
