I took one taste of this icy treat and plunged head first into the magical memories of our Hawaiian honeymoon.
It was almost as if I could smell the sweet perfume of the Plumeria's in bloom and feel the cool waters of the Pacific swirling around my toes.
GAH! I miss Hawaii!!!!
I miss it so much I could cry!
Hawaii is one of those places that is so breathtaking, so magical, and so gorgeous it's utterly impossible to describe. The only way to truly understand how amazing it is, is to actually go and experience it for yourself.
And it is exactly that.
An experience.
So, when the hubs and I ran across these gorgeously ripe pineapples on sale, we new we had to get some and re-invent our own little Hawaiian paradise.
This recipe is so easy and is worth every second it takes to make it. It is icy, light, and sweet and would be the perfect accompaniment to any summertime cookout or get together. AND at less than 75 calories and 1 WWpt or WWpts+ PER CUP, you will not feel guilty for going back for seconds...
or thirds... 😉
Aloha!
Note: The hardest part about this recipe is "shaving" the ice. If you have a snow cone maker, put the frozen chunks through! If not, just keep scraping and scraping! I promise, it's worth it! Also, caloric info does not include the coconut!!!
