Ingredient Notes:
- Pineapple - Use ripe pineapple. See the FAQ below to see how to know if a pineapple in the store is ripe.
- Lime Juice - This adds
- Water - You do not need much, but this helps with the smoothness.
This sorbet is vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and paleo. This is completely optional, but I used a tablespoon of honey to sweeten mine because the pineapple I used wasn't as ripe as I wanted.
Substitutions:
- You can substitute lemon or fresh orange juice if you don't have a lime.
- If you want to sweeten this recipe, you can use honey or agave nectar.
This Vitamix is one of my favorite kitchen appliances of all time. I use it to make soup, ice cream, sorbet, smoothies, cream sauces, and more. It is quick and powerful. Clean up is also really easy!
How To Make Fresh Pineapple Sorbet:
Step 1: Place the pineapple on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to remove the rind from the pineapple carefully. You can also use this inexpensive pineapple corer if you prefer.
Step 2: Place the cut pineapple into a Vitamix, Blendtec, or another high-speed blender.
Step 3: Add the lime juice and water to the blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth in texture and frothy.
Step 4: Pour the thick mixture into a bread loaf tin or this awesome freezer-safe ice cream container, and freeze for 3-4 hours.
Step 5: When the mixture is frozen, use a large ice cream scoop to serve the pineapple sorbet. That is it, super easy!
How To Store Pineapple Sorbet:
Pineapple sorbet can keep fresh in your freezer for up to 3 months. It is important to store the sorbet in an air-tight container to avoid it getting freezer burned.
Recipe FAQ:
Yes!! You can use any fruit you like. Some of my favorite fruit sorbets include strawberry, mango, and watermelon with fresh mint.
You can use frozen fruit or fresh fruit to make sorbet, but if you add frozen fruit to your Vitamix or blender, you will need to add a little water to blend smoothly.
Ice cream is made with milk or a non-dairy milk substitute, whereas sorbet is primarily made from fresh fruit.
Yes, you can use canned pineapple. I recommend that you use one packed in juice and not sweetened with syrup.
Where Do You Get Gluten Free Ice Cream Cones?
I found these gluten free cones by a company called Let's Do Gluten Free. They come in a bright green box. They also make gluten free sugar cones.These are available online, but I am finding more and more grocery stores are starting to carry gluten free cones.
You can also make your own waffle cones with this handy, super DIY, easy method that my son created. These waffle cones are crispy and delicious...not to mention kids like it when they can make them!

How many calories per cup?

Hi Cate, the recipe program calculates per serving, not by a cup measurement. One pineapple made 6 servings of sorbet.

Lovely! Excepts chocolate creams, the fruit sorbet are the best!! This recipe reminds me when I was young, my mom often made the mango, tropical fruit or lemon for the taste. 🙂
