Description
This Homemade Pineapple Soft Serve Ice Cream is a creamy, refreshing, and tropical treat inspired by the classic Dole Whip. Made with real pineapple, it’s smooth, sweet, and perfect for a quick summer dessert without the need for an ice cream maker.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or any milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh pineapple slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Add frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender or food processor.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk — one tablespoon at a time — until desired consistency is reached.
- For a soft-serve texture, serve immediately.
- For a firmer ice cream texture, transfer to a container and freeze for 1–2 hours before serving.
- Garnish with fresh pineapple slices if desired.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet pineapple for the best flavor.
- You can make it vegan by using maple syrup instead of honey.
- Serve immediately for the classic soft-serve texture or freeze longer for scoopable ice cream.
