Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 8 oz frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 3 tbsp honey (or 2 tbsp sugar)
- 6 oz pineapple juice
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients:
Combine the frozen pineapple chunks, frozen whipped topping, honey (or sugar), and pineapple juice in a strong blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and whipped. - Adjust Consistency:
If the mixture is too runny, add 1/4 cup of ice and process further until the consistency thickens to your liking. - Pipe for a Creamy Look:
For a more whipped and creamy texture, transfer the mixture into a piping bag with a star tip and pipe it into individual cups. - Serve:
Serve immediately for a soft, ice-cream-like texture, or freeze for a few hours for a firmer consistency.
Notes
- If you want a richer texture, you can add more whipped topping or a bit of cream.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey, depending on your taste.
- For an extra tropical flavor, you can add coconut milk or shredded coconut to the mixture.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, you can simply scoop the ice cream with a spoon and serve it in bowls.
