Prep Time
- 5 minutes
Total Time
- 5 minutes
Servings
- 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks (about 10 oz)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- ½ cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or your favorite sugar substitute (optional, for added sweetness)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for enhanced flavor)
Instructions
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
- Make sure your frozen pineapple chunks are ready to go. If you’re using fresh pineapple, freeze it in chunks for at least 4 hours or overnight before starting.
Step 2: Blend the Base
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen pineapple chunks, almond milk, and Greek yogurt.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This should take about 1–2 minutes.
Step 3: Add Optional Sweeteners
- If you’d like your ice cream sweeter, add 1 tablespoon of honey or your preferred sugar substitute. For a hint of warmth, add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend again until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Serve Immediately
- Scoop the pineapple ice cream into bowls or cones for soft-serve consistency.
- For a firmer texture, transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for 1–2 hours before serving.
Step 5: Garnish and Enjoy
- Top with shredded coconut, chopped nuts, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of honey for extra flair. Serve immediately and enjoy this tropical delight!
Pro Tips
- Customize the Flavor: Swap pineapple for frozen mango, strawberries, or bananas for a different fruity twist.
- Creamier Texture: Use full-fat Greek yogurt or coconut milk for a richer, creamier ice cream.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Double or triple the recipe and store leftovers in the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
- No Blender? Use a hand mixer or immersion blender, though a high-speed blender will give the smoothest results.
