Ingredients You Will Need
Fresh pineapple chunks
Quantity 3 cups peeled and cut into small pieces
Cold water
Quantity 2 tablespoons
Fresh lemon juice
Quantity 1 teaspoon
Optional sweetener like honey or sugar free sweetener
Quantity 1 to 2 teaspoons depending on taste
Step by Step Method
First, start by choosing a ripe pineapple. A ripe pineapple smells sweet at the bottom and feels slightly soft when pressed. Wash the pineapple well under clean water. Place it on a cutting board and carefully cut off the top and bottom. Stand it upright and remove the outer skin. Make sure to remove the hard eyes from the sides. Cut the pineapple in half and remove the hard core from the center. Then cut the pineapple into small chunks. Smaller pieces freeze better and blend more easily later.
Next, place the pineapple chunks on a clean plate or tray. Make sure the pieces are spread out in one layer and not stacked on top of each other. This helps them freeze evenly. Put the tray in the freezer and let the pineapple freeze completely. This usually takes about four to five hours, but overnight freezing is even better. The pineapple should be very firm when frozen.
Once the pineapple is fully frozen, take it out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about two to three minutes. This small resting time helps the blender work more smoothly. Add the frozen pineapple pieces into a blender or food processor. Pour in the cold water and add the lemon juice. If you want a little extra sweetness, you can add your chosen sweetener now.
Start blending on a low speed first. This helps break the frozen pieces slowly. Then increase to a higher speed. Stop the blender from time to time and scrape down the sides with a spoon. Keep blending until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes, so be patient. The texture should look thick and soft like soft serve ice cream.
Taste the mixture. If you feel it needs more sweetness, add a little more sweetener and blend again. Once you are happy with the taste and texture, you can serve it right away as soft ice cream. If you want it firmer, transfer the mixture into a freezer safe container. Smooth the top with a spoon and cover it. Freeze for one to two hours until it becomes more firm.
When ready to serve, scoop the ice cream into bowls. You can enjoy it plain or add a few fresh pineapple pieces on top. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh tropical taste.
