Equipment
Ingredients
- 7 oz pineapple pulp frozen (if using fresh pineapple see notes)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-3 tbsp raw cane sugar finely ground (to taste - see notes)
- ⅛ tsp Himalayan salt
- 2 tbsp coconut cream or coconut milk or any non-dairy milk or water
Instructions
- Add the frozen pineapple pulp, vanilla extract, salt and sugar into a mini food processor. If preferred, you can add in the liquid coconut cream all at once or you can stream it in little by little as your blend and process the fruit pulp.
- Process until the mixture is broken down and has a smooth and creamy soft-serve texture to it. If needed you can add in a tsp or two more liquid.
- Pour or spoon your mixture into your popsicle mold. Set to freeze for 4-8 hours or overnight.
- Unmold and let your popsicle rest at room temperature for a couple minutes before enjoying for the best textural results.
Notes
- This recipe is a small batch that makes enough to fill three 2.5 oz popsicle molds. Adjust your recipe to suit your popsicle mold's capacity.
- Do NOT use any dairy-based liquid in your popsicle as the natural enzymes in pineapple will react with the proteins in the dairy and create a bitter taste.
- Adjust your sugar preference to taste, but keep in mind that sweetness levels are slightly muted when it comes to cold drinks and foods so once your popsicles are frozen they will taste less sweet.
- If using fresh pineapple, peel, and puree the pineapple. Bag and seal it and allow it to freeze until solid.
- The 7-oz of pineapple pulp is measured by net weight.
