Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pineapple Layer
  • 3 cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • 0.25 cup pineapple juice or water/coconut water
  • 1 tbsp honey or agave optional
Strawberry Layer
  • 3 cups frozen strawberries hulled
  • 0.25 cup apple juice or water
  • 1 tbsp honey or agave optional
Garnish
  • 2 slices fresh pineapple wedges
  • 2 whole fresh strawberries

Equipment

  • High-powered blender
  • Tall clear cups
  • Thick straws
  • Spoons

Method
 

  1. Set out two large, clear plastic cups or glass tumblers.
  2. In a blender, combine the frozen pineapple, pineapple juice, and optional sweetener. Blend on high, using a tamper or stopping to scrape the sides, until very thick and smooth. Transfer to a bowl.
  3. Quickly rinse out the blender pitcher to remove the yellow residue.
  4. Add the frozen strawberries, apple juice (or water), and optional sweetener to the blender. Blend on high until thick and smooth like sorbet.
  5. To assemble, spoon a thick layer of the yellow pineapple slush into the bottom of each cup. Follow with a layer of the red strawberry slush.
  6. Repeat alternating layers until the cups are filled and piled high above the rim.
  7. Garnish the edge of the cup with a fresh pineapple wedge, insert a thick straw, and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not add ice cubes to this recipe, as it will water down the flavor. Rely solely on the frozen fruit to get that thick, soft-serve consistency. Add liquid very sparingly—only enough to get the blender blades moving.
