Ingredients
  

For the Pineapple Layer:

2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (frozen works as well)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Juice of 1 lime

For the Vanilla Cream Layer:

1 cup canned coconut milk (full fat for creaminess)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)

1/4 cup honey or agave syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

For the Crust (optional):

1 cup almond flour (or graham cracker crumbs)

1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple Layer:

    - In a blender or food processor, combine the pineapple chunks, honey (or maple syrup), and lime juice. Blend until smooth.

      - Pour the mixture into a loaf pan (preferably lined with parchment paper for easy removal). Spread it evenly and tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.

        - Place in the freezer for about 1 hour or until firm.

          Make the Vanilla Cream Layer:

            - While the pineapple layer is firming up, blend together the coconut milk, Greek yogurt, honey (or agave), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl or blender until smooth and creamy.

              - Once the pineapple layer is set, pour the vanilla cream mixture over the pineapple layer. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Tap again to remove any air bubbles.

                If using the crust:

                  - In a small bowl, mix the almond flour (or graham cracker crumbs), melted coconut oil (or butter), honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt until well combined.

                    - Sprinkle this mixture over the vanilla cream layer and gently press it down with your palms to adhere.

                      Freeze the Slices:

                        - Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely frozen solid.

                          Slice and Serve:

                            - Once frozen, remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes for easier slicing.

                              - Using a sharp knife, slice into rectangular or square pieces as desired.

                                - Serve immediately or store any leftover pieces in an airtight container in the freezer.

                                  Enjoy your refreshing Frozen Pineapple Vanilla Cream Slices as a delightful dessert or snack on a warm day!
