Description

There’s something about pineapple that instantly transports you to a sunny tropical paradise, no matter where you are. Combine that with the creamy, dreamy texture of soft serve ice cream, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for happiness. Introducing Homemade Pineapple Soft Serve Ice Cream – a simple, refreshing treat that brings a bit of island magic to your kitchen. Whether you’re looking to cool down on a hot day or just craving something sweet and satisfying, this recipe is sure to hit the spot.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • 8 oz frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 3 tablespoons honey or 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  1. Blend Pineapple and Sweetener: In a powerful blender or food processor, combine the frozen pineapple chunks and your choice of sweetener (honey for a natural option or sugar for a traditional twist). Blend until the mixture becomes smooth.

  2. Add Whipped Topping: Add the frozen whipped topping to the blender with the pineapple mixture. Continue to blend until the mixture is fully incorporated and takes on a creamy, soft serve texture.

  3. Serve Immediately or Freeze: For best results, serve your pineapple soft serve immediately after blending. If you prefer a firmer consistency, transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for about an hour until it reaches your desired texture.

  4. Enjoy: Scoop your homemade pineapple soft serve into bowls or cones. Enjoy as is, or top with additional pineapple chunks or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for an extra tropical flair.


Notes

  • Consistency Is Key: If your mixture is too thick to blend smoothly, you can add a small amount of pineapple juice or milk to help it along. Add liquid sparingly to maintain the soft serve consistency.

  • Sweetness to Taste: Adjust the amount of honey or sugar based on the sweetness of your pineapple and your personal preference. Start with the recommended amount and add more if needed after tasting.

  • Variations: Feel free to experiment with adding other frozen fruits to the mix. Mango or banana can complement the pineapple flavor beautifully.

  • Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Before serving again, let it sit out for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
