Ingredients

Serves 2

200g frozen pineapple
100ml light coconut cream (or any plant cream/milk)
30ml condensed coconut milk (or any sweetener)

Optional toppings: white chocolate (~10g), coconut flakes, nuts

Instructions

Blend frozen pineapple with coconut cream until smooth and thick. Use a tamper or stop to scrape down sides if needed.
Add condensed coconut milk or sweetener of your choice to taste and blend briefly to combine.
Serve immediately or freeze for 15-20 minutes for a thicker, ice-cream-like texture. Top with white chocolate, coconut flakes or nuts if you like.

Tips & Notes

The pineapple must be fully frozen and solid — this is what creates the thick, scoopable texture without banana.
Start with less liquid and add more only if your blender struggles. Less liquid means thicker bowl.
For a higher-protein version, blend in a scoop of vanilla protein powder — adds 20g protein without changing the tropical flavor.
No condensed coconut milk? Use maple syrup, agave, honey or any liquid sweetener you have.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder while blending to bring the protein up to 20-25g per serving. It will make the texture slightly thicker, which is a bonus for a smoothie bowl.

You can, but the texture will be much thinner since frozen fruit is what creates the thick, ice-cream-like consistency. If using canned, drain the juice, freeze the chunks for at least 2 hours first, then blend.

Use less liquid — start with just 50ml of coconut cream and add more only if your blender needs it. Make sure the pineapple is fully frozen and solid. You can also add a tablespoon of chia seeds and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken naturally.

You can freeze the blended base in portions and thaw for 10-15 minutes before eating. However, smoothie bowls are best fresh — the texture is creamiest right after blending. For easier mornings, pre-portion the frozen pineapple in bags so you just dump and blend.
