Not mixed with pineapple, but mixed with SUGAR. I'm looking at a can of
cream of coconut as I write this. The ingredient list on the label says,
"sugar, coconut, water, salt" and then a list of chemicals I don't feel like
typing out. The stuff is extremely sweet; there's no need at all to add
sugar to cream of coconut.

Go ahead and check the label on your liquor-store cream of coconut.

By contrast, looking at a can of coconut milk, I see "coconut extract,
water" and two chemicals. It isn't sweetened. So if you wanted something
sweet, you'd expect to add sugar -- like the sugar in a can of sweetened
condensed milk.

I'd be willing to bet that the OP used coconut milk rather than cream of
coconut. And as I said, you could simply pour cream of coconut directly into
a popsicle mold and freeze it into something like you'd get by following the
recipe with coconut milk.

Hey, whose holiday celebrations aren't made better by a touch of bulimia?
Isn't that why the Romans came up with vomitoria?
