Milkshake Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the fresh pineapple chunks, coconut milk, vanilla ice cream, pineapple juice, and honey if you are using it. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth, thick, and creamy. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending of all ingredients.
- Serve Milkshakes: Pour the blended mixture evenly into two glasses to serve two milkshakes.

Notes
- For an alcohol-free version, this recipe is naturally without alcohol.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or skip the sweetener if your pineapple is very ripe and sweet.
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor, but canned pineapple chunks can be used in a pinch.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more ice cream for a richer shake or more pineapple juice for a lighter consistency.
- For a vegan version, ensure the vanilla ice cream is dairy-free and the whipped cream is plant-based.
