Ingredients
  

Pineapple sorbet base
  • 4 cup frozen pineapple chunks Use fully frozen chunks for the best blend; let sit briefly before blending.
  • 2 tbsp lime juice Adjust to taste—more lime boosts tartness.
  • 2 tbsp honey or agave Start with honey or agave, then add more or less as needed.

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer

Method
 

Soften the pineapple
  1. Let frozen pineapple sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly, so it blends smoothly.
Blend into sorbet
  1. Blend pineapple, lime juice, and honey in a high-powered blender until completely smooth, using a steady stop-and-start motion to keep it even.
Taste and adjust
  1. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed, adding small amounts of honey or more lime juice.
Serve or freeze
  1. Serve immediately as a soft sorbet, or transfer to a freezer container and freeze 2-4 hours for a firmer scoop.
Choose your texture
  1. Scrape with a fork for a granita texture, or blend again for a smooth sorbet after freezing.

Notes

For the smoothest texture, use a high-powered blender and blend until no icy bits remain. Refrigerate leftovers in a freezer container up to 7 days; freeze is yes—plan to freeze for 2-4 hours before serving again. For a vegan option, use agave instead of honey; it stays dairy free and keeps the same tropical flavor.
