Substitution

If pineapple puree is unavailable, you can substitute with fresh pineapple blended and strained to maintain smoothness while adjusting sweetness to taste. Corn syrup adds a silky texture and helps prevent crystallization, but corn syrup can be replaced with honey or agave nectar for a natural alternative. Using a sorbet or ice cream maker ensures creamy consistency, but if unavailable, freeze the mixture in a shallow container and stir every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals.

Dissolving the sugar completely before blending prevents graininess in the final dessert.
