Table of Contents

Why This Recipe Works

  • Works as soft serve or frozen dessert
  • Only 2 ingredients → simple and reliable
  • Naturally sweet from pineapple (no added sugar needed)
  • Creamy texture from full-fat coconut milk
  • Ready in 5 minutes

Ingredient Notes

  • Frozen pineapple → must be fully frozen for thick texture
  • Coconut milk (full-fat) → gives creaminess and structure

That’s it.

Optional Add-Ins (only if needed)

  • Sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar) → if pineapple isn’t sweet enough
  • Coconut flakes → for texture
  • Lime juice → for brightness

Tools

  • Food processor (best option)
  • or high-speed blender

Pulse first to break the fruit, then blend until smooth.
Stop and scrape the sides as needed.

How to Make Pineapple Coconut Ice Cream

  1. Add frozen pineapple to a food processor
  2. Pulse until broken into smaller pieces
  3. Add coconut milk
  4. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping sides as needed

Blend just until smooth-don’t over-process.

Soft Serve vs Frozen

  • Serve immediately → soft, creamy (like soft serve)
  • Freeze 1–2 hours → firmer, scoopable texture

Texture Tips (Important)

Not blending well? → pulse first, then blend

Too thick? → add a splash of coconut milk

Too soft? → freeze briefly

Storage

  • Let sit 5 minutes before scooping

Ways to Serve

  • In bowls (simple, clean)
  • In popsicle molds
  • Frozen in a pan → cut into bars
  • With berries or dark chocolate drizzle

  3. This looks absolutely incredible Mira.  I don’t do well with dairy so I have been enjoying my fair share of protein n’ice cream these days.  I typically make it the traditional way with ‘nanas. . .but loving the idea of using pineapple instead.  I’ll take mine with a scoop of protein powder. . .that way it’ll be personal trainer approved.  ?

  6. I love coconut ice cream so much, but I can never find it anywhere. So, I love this recipe because now I can have coconut ice cream whenever I want, and the pineapples add the perfect amount of sweetness!

  8. I actually made this , opposed to the other reviewers. The recipe is super simple with very good texture . 
    The pineapple is very overpowering, even after altering the recipe to half the pineapple and double the coconut milk , it still is overwhelmingly pineapple.
