Our pineapple sorbet recipe is an easy frozen dessert that’s dairy-free and full of fresh pineapple flavor. We love making easy frozen desserts, especially during the Spring and Summer. Some of our other favorites are coconut sorbet, lime sherbet, and pineapple popsicles.

Pineapple Sorbet Recipe:

Pineapple sorbet is a frozen tropical dessert you’ll want to make all Summer long. We used ripened, fresh pineapple with some simple syrup to make this sorbet. Below I’ve listed how you can make it with no sugar, too.

This sorbet is one of my favorite easy frozen treats. There are so many different ways to change it up by adding different flavors to make it unique. If you know someone that enjoys tropical flavors, they will absolutely love this sorbet!

How to Make Pineapple Sorbet:

• Place the sugar and water in a medium saucepan over low-medium heat.
• Stir occasionally, and cook until the sugar dissolves.
• Remove from heat, and allow the mixture to cool in the refrigerator.
• Place the cool simple syrup and pineapple chunks into a blender.

• Process until smooth.
• Transfer the mixture to a prepared ice cream maker.
• Churn until the sorbet reaches the “soft serve” stage.
• Transfer to a freezer safe container, and freeze for 6 to 8 hours or until set.

Pineapple Sorbet Tips and Variations:

• Simple Syrup: I use the simple syrup to add extra sweetness to the pineapple sorbet and to help the sorbet freeze. The sugar can always be reduced if you’d prefer less refined sugar in the recipe.
• Pineapple: Fresh pineapple works best for this recipe, but canned pineapple can be used in a pinch. You’ll need about 4 cups of pineapple chunks well drained.
• Add-Ins: Fresh basil, lime juice, lime zest, shredded coconut, strawberries, coconut milk, pineapple juice, and coconut cream would all be great add-in options for this recipe.
• Thaw: Due to the water in the simple syrup, the pineapple sorbet freezes solid. It’s best to let it set out for about 10 minutes before trying to scoop it and serve.
• Make It Sugar-Free!: If you wanted to go completely refined sugar-free, you could leave out the simple syrup. I’d recommend adding some extra flavor like lime zest, lime juice, shredded coconut, pineapple juice, or a combination of add-ins. You’ll need a bit of liquid to help blend down the pineapple, so something like lime juice or coconut milk or water is great for that.

Storage Recommendations:

Room Temperature: We do not recommend storing pineapple sorbet at room temperature for obvious reasons. However, it is best to let the sorbet set out at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping and serving.

Refrigerator: This recipe should not be stored in the refrigerator.

Freezer: Pineapple sorbet is best stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.
