Here’s a recipe for homemade pineapple soft serve ice cream:
Homemade Pineapple Soft Serve Ice Cream
Ingredients:
- 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
- 1 cup coconut milk (can substitute with almond milk or regular milk)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Freeze the Pineapple:
- Place the pineapple chunks in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until completely frozen.
- Blend the Ingredients:
- Once the pineapple chunks are frozen, place them in a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Add the coconut milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a little more coconut milk, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Serve Immediately:
- Scoop the soft serve into bowls or cones.
- Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency.
- Optional Freezing for Firmer Texture:
- If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the soft serve to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours. Stir occasionally to maintain a creamy texture.
- Garnish and Enjoy:
- Optionally, top with fresh pineapple slices, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of honey before serving.
- Enjoy your homemade pineapple soft serve ice cream!
Tips:
- For a more intense pineapple flavor, you can add a bit of pineapple juice while blending.
- If you don’t have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple chunks, but be sure to drain them well and freeze before using.
Enjoy your refreshing and tropical homemade pineapple soft serve ice cream!
