<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Begin by ensuring your pineapple chunks are completely frozen - this usually takes at least 4 hours in the freezer, but overnight is best. The rock-solid frozen fruit creates the perfect ice cream-like texture without needing cream or dairy.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Place the frozen pineapple chunks into your food processor or high-powered blender. Add half of the coconut water (about 60ml) to start. The liquid helps the blending process but using too much at once will make your whip too runny.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Pulse the mixture several times to break down the frozen pineapple, then process continuously, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides with your rubber spatula. Be patient here - the mixture will initially appear crumbly like snow but will gradually become smooth and creamy as the pineapple releases its natural oils and sugars.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Add the lime juice and remaining coconut water gradually as needed to achieve your desired consistency. The lime juice isn't just for flavor - the acidity enhances the natural sweetness of the pineapple while balancing its tropical notes.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Taste your whip and add honey or maple syrup if needed. This will depend entirely on the natural sweetness of your pineapple - sometimes none is needed at all!</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Continue processing until your mixture resembles a smooth, soft-serve consistency. This typically takes 3-5 minutes of total processing time. You'll know it's ready when it forms soft swirls when scooped with a spoon.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>For the best presentation and texture, serve immediately. Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to create pretty swirls as you fill each glass or mason jar. The whip will begin melting fairly quickly, transforming into more of a drinkable consistency - perfect for sipping through straws!</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>If desired, garnish with fresh pineapple wedges and mint leaves. For an extra special touch that kids love, add colorful paper straws and perhaps a tiny paper umbrella for that perfect tropical feel.</li></ol>
