Homemade Pineapple Soft-Serve Ice Cream

1. If using fresh pineapple, core, peel, and cut it into 1-inch pieces.
2. Arrange the pineapple pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
3. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
4. In a food processor, combine the frozen pineapple chunks, sweetened condensed milk, and chilled heavy whipping cream.
5. Blend briefly to break up the pineapple, then continue blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes.

For the best soft-serve texture, enjoy it right away! 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!
