# Tips from flavorandfeast:
01 -
- It tastes like a vacation without ever leaving your backyard.
- The creamy coconut balances the tart pineapple perfectly.
02 -
- Do not skip the warm water trick or you might break a stick trying to pull it out.
- Full fat coconut milk is necessary because low fat versions turn icy rather than creamy.
03 -
- Warm the mold slightly under hot water before filling if your layers are not sticking to the sides.
- Taste the pineapple mix before freezing to ensure the sweetness is perfect.
