Mix this with pineapple and you have the easiest (and most addictive) frozen dessert in the world
You know that moment when you're craving a cold, refreshing dessert that doesn't take any work at all? That's right: pineapple can be your greatest ally. And when you mix it with this, which you probably already have at home, the result is one of the simplest, quickest and most delicious desserts of the summer.
Want to find out what it is? Spoiler: it doesn't go on the stove, it doesn't go in the oven, and it's ready in less than 5 minutes.
The secret? Mix pineapple with Greek yogurt!
Yes, that's it. And it's amazing how well this combination works.
The pineapple brings freshness, balanced acidity and a tropical touch. Greek yogurt brings creaminess, a soft contrast and protein. Together, they create a cold, light, healthy and addictive dessert.
And the best part: you can vary it, level it up with more ingredients (like whey protein, grated coconut...) or keep it simple. It always works.
Basic recipe: frozen pineapple dessert with yogurt
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pineapple, chopped and frozen
- 3 tablespoons of natural Greek yogurt (or coconut, if you want an extra tropical touch)
- 1 teaspoon of honey or xylitol (optional)
- Mint leaves for decoration (optional)
Directions:
- Place the frozen pineapple in a food processor or powerful blender.
- Add the yogurt and blend until smooth.

Creative (yet easy) variations:
