Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice (or water)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional for creaminess)
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey, sugar, or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness)

Optional Toppings:

  • Shredded coconut
  • Fresh pineapple slices
  • Whipped cream

Equipment Needed

  • Blender or food processor
  • Spatula

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Pineapple

  1. If your pineapple chunks are freshly cut, freeze them for at least 4 hours or overnight. Frozen pineapple is key to achieving the soft-serve texture.

Step 2: Blend the Ingredients

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the frozen pineapple chunks and pineapple juice (or water).
  2. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. For a creamier texture, add the heavy cream and blend again until fully incorporated.
  4. Taste the mixture and add honey or sweetener if desired. Blend briefly to mix.

Step 3: Serve or Freeze

  1. Scoop the soft-serve into bowls or cones for immediate serving.
  2. For a firmer texture, transfer the mixture to a container and freeze for 30–60 minutes before serving.

Tips for Perfect Pineapple Soft-Serve

  1. Don’t Overblend: Over-blending can warm up the mixture. If it starts to melt, freeze it briefly before serving.
  2. Adjust Sweetness: Fresh, ripe pineapple is naturally sweet, so adjust the sweetener based on your preference.
  3. Add a Twist: For a tropical flavor boost, add a splash of coconut milk or a few drops of vanilla extract.
