Instructions
How to Make Pineapple Strawberry Swirled Slushies
Follow these steps for a picture-perfect drink:
1. Blend the Pineapple Slush
In a high-speed blender, mix the frozen chunks of pineapple, juice from the pineapple (or water), as well as honey. Blend until the mixture is smooth and dense. Pour into a bowl, and place aside.
2. Blend the Strawberry Slush
Clean the blender, then add frozen strawberries, the strawberry juice (or water), and honey. Blend until smooth.
3. Create the Swirl Effect
Scoop alternating portions of strawberry slush and pineapple into glasses. Utilize a skewer or knife for swirling the layers to create the marbled effect.
4. Serve Immediately
Add fresh fruit slices or sprinkles on coconut pieces. Have a drink with a reusable straw!
Notes
- Frozen Fresh Fruit Freezer: chop and store strawberries and pineapple for a few hours to ensure the most perfect texture.
- Layer Be careful: For defined swirls, be careful not to mix between the two layers of slush.
- Sugar Control Check the taste before adding honey. Certain fruits naturally taste sweeter!
