Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks Bright, tangy, and sweet.
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (or any milk of choice) Adds a luscious texture.
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste) For added sweetness.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract Enhances overall flavor.
- 1 pinch of salt Balances flavors.
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (optional) For garnish.
- 1 splash lemon or lime juice (optional) Adds a citrusy twist.
- 1 scoop of Greek yogurt for creaminess (optional) Adds a protein boost.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen pineapple, coconut milk, optional sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and thick, reminiscent of soft serve ice cream.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk to loosen it slightly while maintaining a thick texture.
- For firmer ice cream, place the mixture in the freezer for about 30 minutes before serving.
Serving
- Layer fresh pineapple chunks into a clear cup or bowl, then spoon or pipe the pineapple ice cream over the chunks to create creamy swirls.
- Garnish with extra pineapple, a sprinkle of coconut flakes, or a drizzle of honey.
Notes
Consider freezing pineapple chunks overnight for enhanced flavor. Mix in other frozen fruits or add shredded coconut or mixed nuts for texture. Use a high-powered blender to avoid lumps.
