What kind of pineapple should I use for pureeing?

For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, ripe pineapple pureed until smooth. Canned pineapple can work in a pinch, but ensure it's drained well before pureeing.

How long do these Pineapple Paradise Cups need to freeze?

Freeze the cups for at least 4 hours, or until they are completely solid. A brief 5-minute thaw after removing from the freezer will make them easier to enjoy.

Why are silicone cupcake liners recommended?

Silicone liners are recommended for their non-stick properties, making it much easier to remove the frozen Pineapple Paradise Cups without them sticking to the sides.

How should I store leftover Pineapple Paradise Cups?

Once frozen solid, store any remaining Pineapple Paradise Cups in an airtight container in the freezer. They can be enjoyed directly from the freezer after a short thaw.

How to Prepare Pineapple Paradise Cups [Vegan]

Process pecans in a food processor to create pecan meal. Add 1/4 cup of the cranberries and process until the mixture is sticky. Divide evenly in six cupcake liners. I prefer silicone for non-stick.
Slice 1 banana and place banana slices on top of the crust, creating a banana layer.
Pour the 3/4 cup pureed pineapple on top of the banana layer, spreading evenly over the six treats. Decorate with remaining cranberries and banana slices.
Freeze for 4+ hours, until solid. Remove from freezer, allow to thaw for 5 minutes, or until you can enjoy easily.
