Note
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired for a pop of color and freshness.
If the sauce is too thick, add more buttermilk or pineapple juice one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
For a dairy-free version, substitute the buttermilk with coconut milk or almond milk.
Serve immediately for best texture, as the frozen pineapple may melt and thin the sauce over time.
