Step 1
If using fresh pineapple, core, peel, and cut it into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
Arrange the pineapple pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Step 3
Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 4
In a food processor, combine the frozen pineapple chunks, sweetened condensed milk, and chilled heavy whipping cream.
Step 5
Blend briefly to break up the pineapple, then continue blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Step 6
This should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 7
For the best soft-serve texture, enjoy it right away!
Step 8
Serve in cones or bowls, and top with your favorite toppings such as chopped nuts, maraschino cherries, or a drizzle of pineapple juice.
Adjust the Texture:For a slightly creamier consistency, let the frozen pineapple sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before processing.
Storage:If you have leftovers, transfer the soft serve to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 hours. It will become more solid, so let it soften slightly at room temperature before scooping.
Enjoy your homemade pineapple soft-serve ice cream, a delightful treat that brings a taste of the tropics to your home!
Enjoy!
