Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh pineapple, diced into small chunks

1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk (for a rich and creamy texture)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

A pinch of sea salt

Optional: Lime zest for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple: Begin by peeling, coring, and then dicing the fresh pineapple into small, even chunks. This will ensure a smooth blend later on.

    Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the diced pineapple, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), shredded coconut, vanilla extract, lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend the mixture on high until it reaches a completely smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Taste and Adjust: Before proceeding, taste the mixture to determine if the sweetness meets your preference. If you'd like it sweeter, slowly add more honey or maple syrup, blending briefly to combine.

        Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the creamy mixture into silicone molds or a shallow baking dish lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to smooth out the top for an even finish.

          Freeze: Place the molds or the baking dish in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the mixture is completely solid. This step is crucial for achieving the desired texture.

            Release and Serve: To remove the frozen bars from the baking dish, lift the parchment paper to pull out the entire block, and then cut it into bars or squares. If you used silicone molds, gently pull at the sides to release the bars.

              Garnish: For an added burst of flavor and visual appeal, sprinkle a bit of fresh lime zest over the frozen bars right before serving.

                Enjoy: Serve your Frozen Pineapple Coconut Bars immediately for a refreshing treat, or store them in an airtight container within the freezer for up to two weeks to enjoy later.

                  Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 4-6 hours (freezing time) | Servings: 8-10 bars

                    - Presentation Tips: Arrange the bars on a colorful plate with slices of fresh pineapple beside them for a beautiful tropical presentation.
