Ingredients:
- 1 can of crushed pineapple in heavy syrup or pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup coconut cream (such as Coco Lopez)
- 1/2 cup almond milk creamer (silk-sweet or any creamy alternative)
- Shredded coconut (for topping or mix-ins, optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Use canned pineapple that is crushed in heavy syrup for the creamiest texture. If using pineapple chunks or pineapple in light syrup or juice, the final product will be less creamy.
- Ensure your almond milk creamer is creamy and sweetened for the best result.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Pour the crushed pineapple, coconut cream, and almond milk creamer into the Ninja Creami pint container. Stir well to combine.
- Freeze:
- Smooth the top of the mixture flat and securely place the lid on the pint container.
- Freeze the container for 24 hours.
- Process in Ninja Creami:
- Remove the pint container from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami machine.
- Turn on the machine and select the “Sorbet” function. Allow the machine to complete the process.
- Add Mix-Ins or Toppings:
- Once the sorbet process is complete, you can enjoy the sorbet as is or add shredded coconut for extra flavor.
- To add shredded coconut as a mix-in, create a small tunnel down the middle of the sorbet, add the shredded coconut, and use the “Mix-Ins” function on the Ninja Creami machine.
- Alternatively, sprinkle the shredded coconut on top before serving.
- Serve:
- Scoop out the sorbet and enjoy the refreshing tropical flavors of your homemade Pina Colada Sorbet.
