Directions
- Prepare the Pineapple: Cut fresh pineapple into chunks and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the pineapple chunks for at least 4 hours, or until completely frozen.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), and lime juice (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
- Serve Immediately: Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, transfer it to serving bowls or cones. Garnish with fresh pineapple slices, if desired, and serve immediately.
- Enjoy: Sit back, relax, and enjoy the refreshing taste of Homemade Pineapple Soft Serve Ice Cream!
Tips for Success
- Use Ripe Pineapple: For the best flavor, use ripe pineapple that is sweet and juicy. You can also use frozen pineapple chunks from the store if fresh pineapple is not available.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the ice cream mixture before serving and adjust the sweetness as needed. Add more honey or maple syrup for a sweeter flavor, or omit it entirely if you prefer a less sweet dessert.
- Add Variations: Get creative with your soft serve by adding other fruits such as mango, banana, or coconut for additional flavor combinations.
Serving Suggestions
Homemade Pineapple Soft Serve Ice Cream is delicious on its own, but you can also get creative with how you serve it. Here are a few ideas:

- Tropical Sundaes: Serve the soft serve in bowls topped with fresh fruit such as sliced bananas, kiwi, and strawberries, along with a drizzle of honey or chocolate sauce.
- Pineapple Floats: Add a scoop of the soft serve to a glass of pineapple juice or coconut water for a refreshing pineapple float.
- Frozen Treats: Use the soft serve to make popsicles or ice cream sandwiches for a fun and portable dessert option.
Health Considerations
Homemade Pineapple Soft Serve Ice Cream is a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream, as it’s made with real fruit and coconut milk instead of heavy cream. It’s naturally dairy-free and vegan-friendly, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions. However, it’s still important to enjoy it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Variations and Customization
- Tropical Twist: Add other tropical fruits such as mango, banana, or passion fruit to the soft serve for a more complex flavor profile.
- Coconut Cream: Use canned coconut cream instead of coconut milk for an even creamier texture and richer coconut flavor.
- Frozen Yogurt: For a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt for some or all of the coconut milk for a tangy twist.
