Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/4 cup coconut milk (or any non-dairy milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional, for added freshness)
- Optional toppings: shredded coconut (chopped nuts, or fresh mint leaves)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pineapple: Peel and core a fresh pineapple, then cut it into chunks. Spread the pineapple chunks on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Assemble Ingredients: Gather the frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, and lime juice.
- Blend the Ingredients: Place the frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, and lime juice in a blender or food processor.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the ingredients until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all chunks are blended evenly.
- Adjust Consistency (if needed): If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more coconut milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Add Toppings (Optional): Scoop the Pineapple Nice Cream into bowls. Optionally, add toppings such as shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or fresh mint leaves.
- Serve Immediately: Pineapple Nice Cream is best enjoyed immediately for a soft-serve consistency. If you prefer a firmer texture, you can transfer it to a container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours.
