Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks (fresh or store-bought)
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
Equipment:
- Food processor
- Freezer-safe container (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pineapple (if using fresh):
Peel, core, and cut fresh pineapple into 1-inch chunks. - Freeze the Pineapple:
Arrange the pineapple pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. - Blend the Ingredients:
In a food processor, add the frozen pineapple chunks, sweetened condensed milk, and chilled whipping cream. - Process the Mixture:
Blend briefly to break up the pineapple, then continue blending for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. - Serve Immediately for Soft-Serve Texture:
For the best soft-serve experience, enjoy the ice cream right away! - Serve and Add Toppings:
Scoop the pineapple soft serve into cones or bowls. Top with your favorite additions, such as chopped nuts, maraschino cherries, or a drizzle of pineapple juice.
Adjust the Texture:
If you want a creamier consistency, let the frozen pineapple sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before blending.
Storage:
If you have any leftovers, transfer the soft serve to a freezer-safe container and store it in the freezer for up to 2 hours. The texture will become firmer, so let it soften for a few minutes at room temperature before serving.
Enjoy your homemade pineapple soft-serve ice cream, a refreshing tropical treat you can make in no time!
