Ingredients
  

3-ingredient pineapple sorbet
  • 4 cup frozen pineapple chunks Use frozen chunks for the best icy texture and easy blending.
  • 2 tbsp lime juice Fresh lime juice is best; adjust to taste if you prefer it tangier.
  • 2 tbsp honey or agave Add to taste; honey yields classic sweetness while agave keeps it dairy-free.

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer

Method
 

Soften and blend
  1. Let frozen pineapple chunks sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly, so they blend smoothly.
  2. Add softened pineapple, lime juice, and honey or agave to a high-powered blender and blend until completely smooth, scraping down if needed.
  3. Taste the sorbet base and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding a little more honey or agave or more lime juice as needed.
Freeze for sorbet or texture options
  1. Serve immediately as a soft sorbet for a thicker, spoonable texture.
  2. Transfer to a freezer container and freeze for 2-4 hours for a firmer scoop.
  3. If you prefer granita, scrape the frozen mixture with a fork to create icy crystals.
  4. If you prefer a smooth sorbet after freezing, blend again briefly until smooth, then serve right away.

Notes

For the smoothest blend, keep the blender running and add only a small amount of extra lime juice if needed—too much liquid can soften the texture. Store covered in the freezer up to 2 weeks; it’s best blended or scraped fresh after freezing. Freezing is yes, but repeated freezing after serving may dull the texture. For a dairy-free option, keep honey/agave only—no dairy ingredients are needed (and there’s no cream or yogurt in this recipe).
