Tropical Bliss: Caribbean Frozen Treat
Explore our delectable Caribbean Frozen Treat recipe, a tantalizing blend of tropical fruits, coconut, and a velvety texture that takes you straight to the islands.
Ingredients
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks 1 cup ripe mango, peeled and sliced 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 1 cup full fat coconut milk 1 tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a blender, puree the pineapple and mango until smooth. Add shredded coconut and blend until well incorporated. Pour the fruit mixture into a bowl, then whisk in the coconut milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Cover and freeze for 6 8 hours or overnight, stirring every few hours to prevent ice crystals from forming. Once frozen, use an ice cream scoop or spoon to create dramatic swirls on your serving dish.
Chefβs Insight To intensify tropical flavors, macerate the fruit slightly before blending.
