  3. Peel and chop the pineapple into 1 inch cubes, you need 200g of pineapple cubes.
  4. Make sure the dates are pitted and roughly chop them.
  5. Melt the coconut oil and measure 150ml in a measuring jug. 
  6. Squeeze two tablespoons of orange juice from the orange and place into the bowl of your food processor. 
  7. Add the pineapple cubes, chopped dates, vanilla, and cinnamon to the food processor too. 
  8. Blend until everything is mixed together well.
