1. Drain that pineapple: Let pineapple chunks drain in a strainer for 10 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels. Excess juice makes icy treats instead of creamy ones.
2. Blend the magic: Combine drained pineapple, Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, and honey in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping sides as needed.
3. Taste test: Sample the mixture (it’s human-safe!) to make sure it’s mildly sweet and tropical—adjust honey or yogurt as needed.
4. Fill those molds: Pour into silicone molds or ice cube trays, filling about 3/4 full since the mixture expands when frozen.
5. Freeze to perfection: Freeze for at least 3 hours or overnight until they pop out easily but still feel creamy.
6. Serve with love: Let thaw 1-2 minutes if rock-hard, then watch your pup experience tropical bliss.
