I was on Facebook one day during lunch and Tasty (click link for FB video from Tasty) has posted a recipe for Pineapple Soft Serve and I knew I just had to try it!

Their recipe called for Vodka, but I thought Malibu would give it a better flavor profile, since Vodka doesn’t have much flavor, and boy was it a good choice! I also used frozen pineapple I had in the freezer, which made it like a slurry and ready to eat after making versus having to freeze it first. For a non-alcoholic version, cut down on the sweetened condensed milk and you could add in some coconut milk.

I highly recommend this summertime treat for any 21+ get together, and you might even be able to try with other fruits (make sure to let me know if you do).

Tasty Version Ingredients:
1 fresh pineapple, chopped into small chunks
6 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 (6-ounce) can DOLE® 100% pineapple juice
3 ounces vodka
Pineapple spears (garnish)
Fresh mint (garnish)
PREPARATION
1. Add the pineapple chunks, milk, pineapple juice, and vodka to a food processor.
2. Process until smooth and creamy, remove any lumps that remain.
3. Freeze in baking dish for at least 6 hours or until very firm.
4. Remove from dish and chop into large ice cube-sized chunks.
5. Place frozen cubes in food processor and pulse. The consistency should be thick.
6. Pour the mixture into a plastic storage bag with a corner that has been cut off.
7. Carefully pipe the mixture into a martini glass or bowl and garnish with fresh pineapple spears and mint.
8. Enjoy!

My Version Ingredients:
1 bag froze pineapple
6 oz. sweetened condensed milk
1 (6-oz.) can pineapple juice
3 oz. Malibu Rum
Directions:
Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Remove any large lumps. If you like a softer serve eat as is, otherwise freeze in a 8×8 or 9×9 dish in the freezer until firm. Remove and scoop into a blender and pulse until smooth. Pour into a glass or dish and enjoy!
