Description

This Homemade Pineapple Soft Serve Ice Cream is a refreshing, tropical dessert that’s easy to make with just a handful of ingredients. Using frozen pineapple chunks blended with creamy coconut milk and a touch of sweetener, it creates a naturally dairy-free, vegan treat with a smooth, soft-serve texture reminiscent of the classic Dole Whip. Perfect for a quick summer dessert or a healthy snack, it can be served immediately for a soft texture or frozen for a firmer ice cream consistency.

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and lemon juice to a high-powered blender or food processor. Ensure all ingredients are measured accurately for the best texture and flavor.
Blend to Creamy Smoothness: Blend the mixture until it achieves a smooth and creamy consistency, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. This blending process usually takes 1–2 minutes depending on your appliance’s power.
Serve Soft Serve: For a soft-serve texture, immediately scoop or pipe the blended mixture into bowls or cones and serve fresh.
Optional Freezing: For a firmer ice cream texture, transfer the blended soft serve to a container and freeze for 1–2 hours before scooping and serving.

Notes

Use only frozen pineapple chunks; fresh pineapple will not provide the desired creamy, soft-serve texture.
For additional tropical flair, consider adding a splash of pineapple juice or a bit of mango during blending.
This recipe is naturally dairy-free and vegan when using coconut milk and maple syrup, making it suitable for a variety of dietary preferences.
Adjust the level of sweetness by omitting or adding more honey or maple syrup based on your taste.
