🥥 Ingredient Details & Substitution Tips

Frozen Pineapple:

• Essential for that tropical flavor. No substitutes recommended, but mango chunks could work if pineapple isn’t available (note: mango is slightly higher in carbs).

Coconut Milk:

• Use full-fat canned coconut milk for creaminess and keto compliance.

• Substitute: Heavy cream or almond milk (texture will change).

Sweetener:

• Powdered erythritol blends smoothly.

• Substitute: Allulose or monk fruit sweetener.

Vanilla Extract:

• Adds depth. Optional but recommended.

Lemon Juice:

• Adds brightness and balances sweetness.

Salt:

• Enhances overall flavor.

🔄 Variations & Serving Suggestions

Flavor Variations:

• Add 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract for extra tropical flavor.

• Blend in 1–2 tablespoons shredded coconut for texture.

• For a piña colada vibe, add a splash of rum extract (or real rum for adult versions).

Dietary Adaptations:

• Vegan: This recipe is naturally vegan.

• Nut-Free: As written.

• Lower Carb: Use fewer pineapple chunks, but note it will reduce pineapple flavor.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve in martini glasses with mint leaves for a fancy presentation.

• Pair with keto coconut macaroons or enjoy as-is.

Storage:

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.

Reheating/Softening:

❓ FAQs

Can I use fresh pineapple instead of frozen?
Yes, but freeze it first to achieve the right texture.

Is there a lower-fat version?
Use light coconut milk or almond milk, though it will be less creamy.

Can I add protein powder?
Yes! Add 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla low-carb protein powder when blending.

What if I don’t have a blender?
A food processor works well. If neither is available, let the pineapple thaw completely and mash by hand (texture will be less smooth).
