How to Make Pineapple Ice Cream

Step 1: Add Ingredients

Place the frozen pineapple chunks, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey (if using), and vanilla extract into a blender or food processor.

Step 2: Blend Until Creamy

Blend for 2–4 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. Continue blending until the mixture becomes smooth, thick, and creamy like soft-serve ice cream.

Step 3: Adjust Texture

If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of almond milk. If it becomes too thin, add a few extra frozen pineapple chunks.

Step 4: Serve Immediately

Serve right away for a soft-serve texture, or freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer scoopable ice cream.
