📝 Notes & Tips

• Use sweet, ripe pineapple for the best flavor.

• If the pineapple is naturally sweet, you may skip adding sweetener.

• Sweetener options include raw sugar, honey, jaggery, palm sugar, coconut sugar, or maple syrup.

• This recipe works well with both homemade and packaged coconut milk.

  • Lite coconut milk gives the best consistency.

  • If using thick canned coconut milk, thin it with water or coconut water.

• You may substitute coconut milk with other plant-based milks such as almond, oat, or cashew milk.

• Skip the cinnamon if you prefer a purely tropical flavor
