• Coconut milk — Make sure to use full-fat coconut milk for a rich and creamy texture.
• Pineapple — Fresh pineapple works best for this recipe, but you can also use canned pineapple chunks if fresh is not available.
• Passion fruit juice — If fresh passion fruits are not available, you can use store-bought passion fruit juice.
