-
Prepare the Pineapple:
- If using fresh pineapple, core, peel, and cut it into 1-inch pieces.
-
Freeze the Pineapple:
- Arrange the pineapple pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
-
Blend the Ingredients:
- 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 the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- 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.
