Equipment

1 blender or food processer that can handle chopping ice

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.
