Pineapple Soft-Serve (No Ice Cream Machine)

Ingredients

2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream)
3 tbsp condensed milk or honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tbsp lemon juice (optional for freshness)

Instructions

Place frozen pineapple chunks in a blender or food processor.
Add heavy cream, condensed milk, vanilla, and lemon juice.
Blend until smooth and creamy like soft-serve ice cream.
If too thick, add 1–2 tbsp milk to help blending.
Pipe into cups or serve immediately for a soft-serve texture.
For firmer ice cream, freeze for 1–2 hours before serving.

Q&A

Q: Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes! Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and skip condensed milk or use maple syrup.

Q: Can I use fresh pineapple?
Yes, but freeze the pineapple chunks first so the dessert becomes thick and creamy.

Q: How do I make it sweeter?
Add extra honey, sugar, or condensed milk to taste.

Q: Can I store it?
Yes. Freeze in a container for up to 1 week. Let it sit 5 minutes at room temperature before serving.

Q: Can I add other fruits?
Yes! Mango, banana, or strawberries blend well with pineapple.

🍍 Tip: Add ½ frozen banana to make it even creamier.
