Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

frozen pineapple chunks
  • 4 cup frozen pineapple chunks Use frozen pineapple chunks for the best scoopable texture.
lime juice
  • 2 tbsp lime juice Fresh lime juice is preferred for a bright, tangy flavor.
honey or agave
  • 2 tbsp honey or agave Add to taste; honey and agave keep the sorbet naturally sweet and dairy free.

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer

Method
 

Soften the pineapple
  1. Let the frozen pineapple chunks sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly, so they blend smoothly.
Blend into sorbet
  1. Blend the pineapple chunks, lime juice, and honey or agave in a high-powered blender until completely smooth, with no visible ice bits.
Adjust flavor
  1. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity by blending again briefly if you want more honey or more lime juice.
Serve or freeze
  1. Serve immediately as a soft sorbet, or transfer to a freezer container and freeze for 2 to 4 hours until firmer for scooping.
Choose your texture
  1. For a granita texture, scrape the partially frozen sorbet with a fork to create icy flakes, or blend again after freezing for a smoother sorbet.

Notes

For the creamiest result, blend as soon as it’s smooth and thick, then either eat right away or freeze in a shallow container so it firms evenly. Refrigeration isn’t suitable for texture—store in the freezer up to 1 week; freezing beyond that may become icy. Freezer yes. Dietary swap: use agave instead of honey to keep it dairy free and vegan-friendly (already dairy free as written).
