Craving a refreshing and creamy dessert that transports you straight to the tropics? This Homemade Pineapple Soft-Serve Ice Cream is the perfect blend of fruity sweetness and smooth texture. Made with just a handful of ingredients, this recipe brings the iconic tropical flavor of pineapples to your kitchen in under 10 minutes. Enjoy this dairy-free, vegan-friendly delight that’s not only healthy but irresistibly delicious!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- ½ cup coconut milk (or any dairy-free milk)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)
Instructions:
- Prep the Pineapple: Ensure the pineapple chunks are completely frozen before starting. Freshly cut pineapple works best for a stronger, natural sweetness.
- Blend It All Together: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen pineapple, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides occasionally to ensure everything mixes evenly.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of coconut milk at a time until you reach your desired soft-serve consistency.
- Serve Immediately: Scoop the pineapple soft-serve into bowls or cones, and enjoy it right away. For a firmer texture, freeze the soft-serve for an extra 10–15 minutes.
- Optional Toppings: Garnish with shredded coconut, fresh pineapple chunks, or a drizzle of honey for an extra tropical touch!
Tip: For a tangy twist, add a splash of lime juice to the mixture before blending!
