Ingredient breakdown:
- Pineapple chunks: I have used frozen pineapple chunks for this recipe. That’s because frozen pineapple chunks will give you a thick and sorbet-like consistency to your soft serve. Plus, you will get an even flavor of pineapple in every bite.
- Ice cream: The base for this soft-serve ice cream is premade ice cream. I prefer using vanilla flavor, but you can choose any other flavor you love as well. Premade ice cream is convenient and easy to buy.
- Pineapple juice: Adding pineapple juice to this soft serve recipe will not only adjust the consistency of this ice cream but will also add a sweet and sour pineapple flavor.
- Maple syrup: Maple syrup adds a sweet, caramel-like flavor to this ice cream. You can add sugar or agave syrup as well.
- Lemon juice: Lemon juice adds a citrusy flavor to this ice cream. It balances out the flavors. You can skip adding it to the ice cream. It is an optional ingredient.
- Salt: A dash of salt enhances the flavor of your ice cream.
Can you make this soft-serve ice cream with any other fruit?
- Absolutely! As much as we love the tropical pineapple flavor, you can use any other fruit you like as well. Try this recipe with mango or berries like strawberries or raspberries, and they will taste great. You can try your favorite fruits as well.
