Ingredients<\/strong> (Makes about 4 servings)<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n

    2 cups<\/strong> frozen pineapple chunks (fresh or store-bought)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    1 can (14 oz)<\/strong> sweetened condensed milk<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    1\/2 cup<\/strong> chilled heavy whipping cream<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Equipment Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • \n

      Food processor or high-powered blender<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Freezer-safe container (optional, for storing leftovers)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      STEP 1 \u2013 PREPARE THE PINEAPPLE<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      If using fresh pineapple, core, peel, and cut it into 1-inch pieces. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they don\u2019t overlap, and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.<\/p>\n

      STEP 2 \u2013 BLEND THE INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      In a food processor, combine the frozen pineapple chunks, sweetened condensed milk, and chilled heavy whipping cream.
      Blend briefly to break up the pineapple, then continue blending until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This should take about 1\u20132 minutes.<\/p>\n

      STEP 3 \u2013 SERVE IMMEDIATELY<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      For the classic soft-serve texture, enjoy right away! Scoop into cones or bowls, then top with chopped nuts, maraschino cherries, or a drizzle of pineapple juice.<\/p>\n

      STEP 4 \u2013 OPTIONAL STORAGE<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      If storing, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 hours. It will firm up, so let it soften slightly at room temperature before scooping.<\/p>\n

      Tips for the Perfect Soft-Serve<\/strong><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • \n

        Let frozen pineapple sit at room temperature for 5\u201310 minutes<\/strong>before blending for a creamier texture.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Use a strong blender or food processor to avoid large frozen chunks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        For a lighter, dairy-free option, swap the condensed milk and cream for coconut milk.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
