Instructions

Place the fresh pineapple chunks, filtered water, honey, fresh lime juice, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of fine sea salt in a blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and homogenous, about 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down sides as needed.
Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity, adding more honey or lime juice if desired.
Pour the pineapple vanilla mixture evenly into 8 popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion.
Insert sticks and freeze the popsicles until fully solid and firm, about 5 hours or overnight for best results.
To unmold, briefly run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles and remove.

Tips

Use ripe and fragrant pineapple for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
Vanilla extract adds a subtle smoothness that balances pineapple's tartness—use at least 1 tsp for full flavor.
