- 6 oz pineapple juice
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Gather all your ingredients and ensure they’re at the right consistency. If your frozen whipped topping has thawed slightly, give it a stir to re-fluff before using.
Step 2: Blend the Frozen Pineapple
In a high-powered blender or food processor, start by blending the frozen pineapple chunks until they form a coarse slushy texture. This will help create a smooth base for your soft serve.
Pro Tip: If your blender struggles with frozen chunks, let them sit out for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly before blending.
