Since it was introduced 33 years ago, this creamy nondairy pineapple soft serve has gained a cult following inside and outside Disney parks: Fans have created dozens of copycat recipes, and Disney sells stuffed toys, backpacks and clothes inspired by the treat.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 0.14-ounce package powdered unsweetened pineapple-flavored drink mix (such as Kool-Aid)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pineapple-flavored gelatin powder (such as Jell-O Island Pineapple)
1 20-ounce can pineapple chunks in syrup

Steps:

  • Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the pineapple drink mix, sugar and gelatin powder until completely dissolved. Pour into a medium bowl set over a large bowl of ice water and let sit until cold, about 5 minutes.
  • Puree the pineapple chunks and their syrup in a food processor or blender until smooth and frothy, about 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing with a rubber spatula (discard the pulp). Stir the strained liquid into the gelatin mixture.
  • Transfer the pineapple-gelatin mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions until it is the consistency of soft-serve ice cream, 1 to 1 1/2 hours (stop the machine halfway through and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula). Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1-inch star tip and pipe into cups. Alternatively, scrape into a plastic container and freeze until firm, then scoop.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/3 cup ice water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Kosher salt
1 pound frozen pineapple chunks

Steps:

  • Freeze 4 small glasses or ramekins until cold. Put the coconut milk, ice water, vanilla and a pinch of salt in a blender. Add the pineapple and blend, stirring as necessary, until smooth. Working quickly, spoon the soft serve into a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip and pipe it into the cold cups. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapples: The riper the pineapple, the sweeter and more flavorful your soft serve will be.
  • Freeze the pineapple chunks: Freezing the pineapple chunks helps them blend more smoothly and gives the soft serve a creamier texture.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender is essential for getting a smooth and creamy texture. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can try using a food processor, but the results may not be as good.
  • Add milk or yogurt for a creamier texture: If you want a creamier soft serve, you can add some milk or yogurt to the blender. This will help to thicken the soft serve and make it more like traditional ice cream.
  • Sweeten to taste: If you find that your soft serve is not sweet enough, you can add some honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Pineapple soft serve is best served immediately after it is made. It will start to melt quickly, so don't let it sit out for too long.

Conclusion:

Pineapple soft serve is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for a hot summer day. It is easy to make and requires only a few simple ingredients. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and creamy pineapple soft serve that will be a hit with everyone.
