Directions
-
If you have fresh pineapple, cut it into chunks and freeze them until firm (about 1 hour). If using juice, chill it well. Let the frozen pineapple stand for 10 minutes before blending to make it easier to process.
-
In a blender, combine the chilled pineapple juice (or frozen chunks) and the cream of coconut. Blend on low speed to combine.
-
With the blender running, gradually add the ice cubes one at a time. Increase speed to high and blend until the mixture is smooth and icy.
-
Add the vanilla frozen yogurt to the blender. Blend again until completely smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more juice or milk. If too thin, add a few more ice cubes.
-
Pour immediately into a glass and serve. Garnish with a pineapple wedge or a sprinkle of toasted coconut if desired.
