Instructions
Measure out the frozen pineapple, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and ice cubes, placing them all into your blender.
Secure the lid and start blending on high speed. Listen for the ice to crush and the mixture to become thick and frosty, about 30 seconds.
Check the texture — it should be creamy, with tiny ice crystals and a vibrant yellow color. If too watery, add a few more ice cubes and blend again; if too thick, pour in a splash more coconut milk.
Pour in the lime juice and, if using, a splash of coconut rum. Blend for another 5 seconds to incorporate everything evenly.
Give it a quick taste and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more condensed milk or lime juice if needed.
Pour the slushie into chilled glasses, garnishing with a pineapple wedge or cherry if desired. Serve immediately for the best frosty texture.
Notes
For an extra tropical touch, add a maraschino cherry or a small paper umbrella. This recipe can be easily doubled or halved for different servings.
