Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
Instructions
- Place frozen pineapple, lemon juice, lime juice, sugar, vanilla ice cream, and pineapple juice in a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer to a gallon-sized bag and freeze for about 1 hour or until desired consistency.
- Scoop into a serving cup and pour pineapple juice on top to make it a float.
Notes
- Serve Immediately: For the creamiest texture, enjoy right after blending and chilling.
- As a Float: Add pineapple juice or lemon-lime soda on top for an extra refreshing float.
- Freezing Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Re-blend before serving to restore creaminess.
- Consistency Control: Freeze longer for a firmer texture or serve right after blending for a soft-serve consistency.
- Make-Ahead Party Trick: Prepare the mixture in advance, freeze it in small serving cups, and pull them out when guests arrive.
