Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use almond milk or any plant-based milk instead of regular milk and dairy-free ice cream.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar or syrup depending on your preference.
- Use fresh pineapple chunks for a brighter flavor, but canned works well in a pinch.
- To make it vegan, substitute dairy ice cream with coconut or soy-based frozen desserts and use dairy-free whipped cream.
- This recipe is best served immediately to maintain the texture and layered effect.
