    There are so many reasons why I love pineapples. They are delicious and a wonderful way to stay hydrated during hot days. You can eat them in so many different ways ranging from juice, served with a fresh fruit salad or even grilled. You can't go wrong with pineapple since it is so incredibly versatile, but since it is summer, there is only one way to go. No-churn pineapple ice cream. It reminds me so much of the virgin pina colada I had as a kid during a summer holiday in Greece, so I kept the pictures quite retro.

    Creamy No-Churn Pineapple Ice Cream

    While I do love traditional ice creams and think they are very delicious, I do want instant gratification after long days. What is more gratifying than making a creamy no-churn pineapple ice cream at home, within a matter of 5 minutes? Sounds too good to be true but all it requires is some frozen fruit. That is why I tend to keep a batch of frozen bananas since they are the perfect base for soft, melt in your mouth ice creams.

    Creamy No-Churn Pineapple Ice Cream

    These days a lot of supermarkets offer smoothie packs or single fruit in the frozen food aisle, and while that is a great alternative if you do not have all too much space in your freezer, I would advise you to check the fresh food section. You should do this especially if your local store has a habit or selling fruits at discounted prices if they are about to expire.

    Creamy No-Churn Pineapple Ice Cream

    Here's the thing with fruit on offer. Not only is it cheaper but it is also perfectly ripe, and that is what you need for frozen desserts or smoothies in general. So next time you walk past that significant amount of discounted bananas or berries buy a whole lot of them and freeze them at home.

    Creamy No-Churn Pineapple Ice Cream

    And by a lot I mean it. Look at the craziness that I commit at times, exhibit A and B. Do I get weird looks? Sure. Do I care? Nope. I am saving money and getting delicious fruits at the same time that I turn into the delicious smoothies and dessert. #NoShame. And frankly, even if you are self-conscious enough to care what people might think about you when you are pushing around a shopping cart with an estimated 100 bananas, look at this creamy goodness and tell me it's not worth it. So deliciously sweet with a silky, melt in your mouth texture. You won't believe this is only made of fruits.

    Creamy No-Churn Pineapple Ice Cream

    This three ingredient pineapple ice cream is not only delivering in taste and texture, but it also beats pretty much any frozen dessert when it comes to how quickly it is made. All it takes are a few minutes of patience while you watch your frozen fruit being processed to a temptingly silky ice cream, right in front of your eyes. The only thing you have to make sure of is that you have frozen fruit at hand. With the mentioned tip of only buying fruit in bulk when it gets discounted that should not be an issue, even for a smaller budget. Do you have any tips on saving while shopping without sacrificing treats? I would love to hear about them because I refuse to sacrifice a single meal and love to treat myself, a lot.

    Servings 4 portions
    Calories 139 kcal

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 500 g pineapple cleaned and frozen - about 1 pineapple
    • 500 g bananas cleaned and frozen - about 4 bananas
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions
     

    • Prep the pineapple by cutting off the skin and slicing it into chunks. Peel and slice the banana. Freeze the fruit for at least 5 hours. If you use already frozen fruit, you can skip this step.

    • Place all the ingredients into t a food processor and let it run at highest speed for a few minutes. The frozen fruit will turn into a loose, crumbly mass. Stop the processor and push the fruit down. Turn it onto high speed and repeat this process until you have a very smooth and silky soft ice cream.*

    Notes

    * For a lovely, scoopable ice cream transfer it into a freezer friendly container and freeze it for another hour.

      Churning is my least favorite part of making ice cream. I'm beyond excited that I came across this recipe where I don't have to churn it! I love how simple and healthy the ingredients are!

        Churning is testing my patience as well but it sure is worth the home made ice cream. Can't beat this one though. Tastes like the real thing and takes only a few minutes. - Love, G. ?

      Oh my goodness, this looks so good! In fact, my husband bought himself a brand new grill for Father’s Day and has been itching to cook anything and everything. Pineapples will be next on his list (this will be new for us). I’m such a fan of banana ice cream and can’t wait to give your version a try! ps: Your food photography is beautiful!

      I’ve been freezing the left over ripe bananas my daughter doesn’t eat too. Great advice on the discounted fruits, I am going to use it! Bet that lemon juice adds a bit of sass in the mix right?

        It does. It also cuts a little bit through the sweetness and adds preserving properties so it doesn't change colour in case you want to store it in the freezer for a few days. I'll add that info to the recipe card. - Love, G.

        Any frozen fruit can be added to this. Mango is a great choice because it has this really amazing, melt in your mouth soft texture when frozen. I got a separate recipe for mango sorbet: https://thegreedyvegan.com/mango-sorbet-without-added-sugar/ Can highly recommend it if you love mangoes. - Love, G. ?
