Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Fresh pineapple chunks
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Place the fresh pineapple chunks in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Pour the pineapple puree into a fine-mesh sieve placed over a large bowl. Use a spatula to press the puree through the sieve, removing any fibrous solids.
In the bowl with the strained pineapple puree, add granulated sugar, lemon juice, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the sherbet reaches a soft-serve consistency. This usually takes 20-25 minutes.
Once churned, transfer the sherbet into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm it up.
Scoop and serve the pineapple sherbet in bowls or cones as a refreshing dessert, garnishing with fresh pineapple slices if desired.
