Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Blend the ingredients:
- In a high-powered blender or food processor, add the frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract (if using).
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture should have a soft-serve consistency. If it’s too thick, add more coconut milk a little at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately:
- Scoop the soft serve into bowls or cones and serve right away. The texture will be creamy and thick, similar to traditional soft serve ice cream.
- Optional freeze for firmer texture:
- If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for about 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of lime juice or coconut extract to enhance the tropical taste.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any fibrous pieces of pineapple before serving.
- For a vegan option, ensure you’re using maple syrup or another plant-based sweetener.
