Ingredients
Scale
Pineapple Mixture
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (frozen)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/2 cup cold water
- Juice of 1/2 lime
Strawberry Mixture
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and frozen)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- 1/2 cup cold water
Instructions
- Blend the Pineapple Mixture: In a blender, combine the frozen pineapple chunks, honey if using, juice of half a lime, and 1/2 cup of cold water. Blend until the mixture is smooth and has a slushy consistency. Pour this mixture into a large measuring cup or bowl and set it aside.
- Blend the Strawberry Mixture: Rinse out the blender to avoid flavor mixing. Add the frozen strawberries, sugar if using, and the remaining 1/2 cup of cold water to the blender. Blend until smooth and slushy.
- Create the Swirl Effect and Serve: To assemble, alternate pouring spoonfuls or layers of the pineapple and strawberry mixtures into serving glasses. This layering creates a beautiful swirled effect. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the refreshing textures and flavors.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness based on the ripeness of your fruit to suit your taste preferences.
- For an extra tropical twist, add a few fresh mint leaves or a splash of coconut water into the blends.
- These slushies are best served fresh but can be prepared ahead and re-blended before serving to refresh the texture.
