Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (frozen)
• 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and frozen)
• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
• 1/2 cup cold water (as needed)

• Ice cubes (optional, for thicker texture)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a blender, combine the frozen pineapple chunks, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if using, and half of the lime juice. Blend until smooth and slushy, adding cold water as needed to reach the desired consistency.
2. Step 2: Pour the blended pineapple mixture into a bowl or jug and set aside to keep ready for layering.
3. Step 3: Rinse the blender to prepare for the strawberry mixture, ensuring fresh flavors and texture.
4. Step 4: Add the frozen strawberries to the blender along with the remaining 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, and the rest of the lime juice. Blend until smooth and slushy.
5. Step 5: Alternately spoon the pineapple and strawberry mixtures into serving glasses. Use a straw or spoon to gently swirl the layers, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
6. Step 6: Serve immediately for the best slushie texture. Optionally, add ice cubes during blending or a splash of rum or vodka for an adult version.

Tips & Variations

• Use frozen fruit to achieve the perfect slushie texture without needing much ice.
• Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup, or omit entirely for a naturally sweet drink.
• For a dairy-free creamier alternative, try adding a splash of coconut milk to one or both blends.
• For an adult twist, add a splash of rum or vodka after blending.

Storage

These slushies are best enjoyed immediately for optimal texture. If you need to store leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and freeze. Before serving, allow to thaw slightly and stir to regain slushiness. Reblending may be necessary if texture separates.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs
