Ingredients:
- 2 cups of frozen pineapple chunks (can be fresh or store-bought)
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
Equipment:
- Food processor
- Freezer-safe container (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1:
If using fresh pineapple, core and peel it, then cut into 1-inch chunks.
Step 2:
On a baking sheet, arrange the pineapple chunks in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Step 3:
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 4:
Once frozen, add the pineapple chunks, sweetened condensed milk, and chilled heavy whipping cream to a food processor.
Step 5:
Begin by pulsing the mixture to break up the pineapple, then blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Step 6:
This blending process should take 1-2 minutes.
Step 7:
For the best soft-serve texture, serve immediately!
Step 8:
Scoop the soft-serve into cones or bowls, and top with your favorite toppings like chopped nuts, maraschino cherries, or a drizzle of pineapple juice.
Pro Tips:
- Creamier Texture: Let the frozen pineapple chunks sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before processing to achieve a smoother consistency.
- Freezing Leftovers: Place any leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 hours. Before serving, allow it to soften slightly at room temperature since it will firm up in the freezer.
