Homemade Pineapple Soft Serve Ice Cream

If you're craving a refreshing tropical dessert, this homemade pineapple soft serve is a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional ice cream. Made with just a few simple ingredients, it's naturally sweet, creamy, and packed with pineapple flavor.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen pineapple chunks in a food processor or high-powered blender.
  2. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides.
  4. If desired, add honey or maple syrup and blend again.
  5. Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture.

Tips for the Best Texture

  • Use fully frozen pineapple for a thick, creamy consistency.
  • Add milk gradually to avoid making the mixture too thin.
  • Freeze the finished mixture for 20–30 minutes if you prefer a firmer texture.
  • Garnish with fresh pineapple, toasted coconut, or a sprinkle of lime zest.
