Homemade Pineapple Soft-Serve Ice Cream

October 18, 2025 by youssef

Instructions:

1. Freeze the Pineapple: If you’re starting with fresh pineapple, ensure it is peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks. Spread the chunks in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.

2. Combine Ingredients: Place the frozen pineapple chunks, sweetened condensed milk, and chilled heavy cream into the bowl of a food processor.

3. Blend to Perfection: Pulse a few times to break up the pineapple. Then, process on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. This should take 1-2 minutes.

4. Serve Immediately: For the perfect soft-serve consistency, scoop and enjoy right away! Serve in bowls or cones and garnish with toppings like toasted coconut, a maraschino cherry, or a sprinkle of macadamia nuts.

Pro Tips:

• Creamier Texture: If your soft-serve is too icy, let the frozen pineapple sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes before processing.

• Storage: Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and freeze. It will harden. Let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften before scooping.
