Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks Forms the base of the ice cream.
- 1/2 cup coconut milk Or any milk of choice for a creamy texture.
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup Optional for sweetness, to taste.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds flavor.
- 1 pinch salt Enhances the overall flavor.
- 1 Fresh pineapple chunks For serving.
- 1 splash lemon or lime juice Optional for added zest.
- 1 scoop Greek yogurt Optional for creaminess.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen pineapple, coconut milk, sweetener (if using), vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and thick, similar to soft serve.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk to loosen it but keep it scoopable and thick. For a firmer texture, freeze for about 30 minutes before serving.
- Layer fresh pineapple chunks into a clear cup or bowl. Spoon or pipe the pineapple ice cream over the chunks to create tall swirls.
- Garnish with extra pineapple pieces, a sprinkle of coconut flakes, or a drizzle of honey.
Notes
Consider adding lime zest for a citrus punch or topping with crushed nuts for added texture. Freeze bowls beforehand for better presentation and temperature maintenance.
