Cool off this Labor Day weekend with this Pineapple Soft Serve recipe! This easy, dairy-free dessert combines fresh pineapple, creamy coconut, and coconut cashews for a refreshing, healthy dessert. Perfect for those seeking a gluten-free, vegan option, this soft serve is a must-try for summer! Enjoy with a sprinkle of toasted nuts from Nuts+Nuts for an extra crunch.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds fresh pineapple chunks, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 6 cups)

1 1/4 cups unsweetened coconut cream

1/4 water/rum/any liquid of choice

Pinch of kosher salt

Toasted unsweetened flaked coconut, for garnish

How to make:

Arrange the pineapple chunks in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until the pineapple is fully frozen.

Place the frozen pineapple chunks into a high-powered blender or food processor. Add the coconut cream, agave nectar, and a pinch of kosher salt. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take a few minutes, and you may need to stop and stir occasionally to get everything blended well.

Pour the mixture into a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up slightly.

Spoon the chilled pineapple mixture into serving bowls and sprinkle coconut cashews over the top for added crunch.
