1. Make sure your pineapple chunks are fully frozen.
2. Add frozen pineapple, milk, salt, sweetener, and lemon juice to a high-speed blender or food processor.
3. Blend on high for 2–3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Adjust the texture:
– Too thick? Add 1–2 teaspoons of milk.
– Too thin? Add more frozen pineapple and re-blend.
5. Serve immediately in bowls or cones.
6. For the classic swirl presentation, transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe into your serving dish.
7. Optional: For a firmer consistency, place the mixture in the freezer for 20 minutes before serving.

Serving Ideas

• In cones or cups: Just like soft-serve!

• With toppings: Try shredded coconut, chopped macadamia nuts, or a drizzle of honey.

• Layered in a parfait: Alternate with granola and coconut yogurt for a tropical breakfast bowl.

Tips & Variations

• Make it vegan: Use oat, almond, or coconut milk and a plant-based sweetener.

• No added sweetener: If your pineapple is super ripe, you may not need any extra sugar.

• Frozen fruit blend: Add frozen mango or banana for a new flavor twist.

• Add vanilla extract: Just ¼ teaspoon adds a soft-serve creaminess.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use canned pineapple?
Not recommended for freezing due to the high moisture content. Stick with fresh pineapple that’s been chopped and frozen for the best texture.

What blender works best?
A high-powered blender (like Vitamix or Ninja) or a food processor works best. Regular blenders may need extra liquid and blending time.

Can I make it ahead of time?
Yes! Freeze the blended whip for up to 1 day. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping or piping.

Can kids help make this?
Absolutely. It’s a fun, safe recipe for kids to help with—just assist with blending and scooping.
