Creamy, dreamy, and bursting with tropical flavor—this Homemade Pineapple Soft Serve Ice Cream is your ticket to instant summer bliss! With just a few simple ingredients and no ice cream machine needed, this recipe is perfect for whipping up a quick frozen treat that’s just like the iconic Dole Whip we all love.
It’s light, fruity, and naturally sweet—with frozen pineapple, a splash of juice, and fluffy whipped topping coming together for that irresistible soft-serve texture. Whether you’re serving it swirled in a cup or scooped into cones, it’s guaranteed to bring the vacation vibes!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 8 oz frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 3 tablespoons honey or 2 tablespoons sugar
- 6 oz pineapple juice
- Optional: 1/4 cup ice cubes, if needed to thicken
Instructions:
1. Blend It Up:
Add the frozen pineapple chunks, frozen whipped topping, honey (or sugar), and pineapple juice to a powerful blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
2. Adjust the Texture:
If your mixture is too thin or soft, add 1/4 cup of ice cubes and blend again until it thickens into that classic soft-serve consistency.
3. Serve It Like a Pro:
For that signature swirl, spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe into serving cups or bowls.
4. Enjoy Immediately:
Serve right away for the best soft-serve texture—or freeze for 30 minutes to firm it up just a bit more before serving.
Tips & Variations:
- Make it dairy-free: Use a dairy-free whipped topping and sweeten with maple syrup or agave.
- Add a twist: Try blending in a handful of frozen mango or a squeeze of lime juice!
- Freeze leftovers: Store any extras in a freezer-safe container. Just let it sit at room temp for 10 minutes before scooping.
