Instructions

  1. Fill the pint

    Fill an empty pint to the max fill line with pineapple chunks, then cover the fruit with liquid from the can up to the max fill line. The entire can of pineapple will not be required.

  2. Freeze the pint

    Place the storage lid on the pint and freeze for 24 hours. For a Deluxe pint, fill with 3 cups of fruit chunks and cover with 1 cup of liquid from the can to the max fill line, then freeze the same way.

  3. Set up the pint

    Take the pint out of the freezer and remove the storage lid, then set the pint up in the machine. For a Deluxe pint, select TOP, FULL, or BOTTOM before choosing the program.

  4. Select SORBET

    Select SORBET and let the program spin the frozen fruit into sorbet.

  5. Serve

    When processing is complete, take the sorbet out of the pint and serve immediately.

Where the calories live

It is all one ingredient here: the pineapple chunks is the whole story, calories and all.

The bright spot

The fruit in the mix brings natural sweetness and real flavor, plus the vitamin C you see on this panel.

Want a lighter scoop

A half serving with fresh fruit on the side keeps all the flavor and halves everything on this panel.

Make it your own

  • Start with the base recipe, then swap one ingredient at a time.

  • Keep notes so you can revisit your favorite combination.

Texture tips

  • A level, fully solid freeze gives the smoothest spin.
  • Freeze CREAMi bases level and completely solid.
  • For SLUSHi, check compatible liquids and minimum sugar requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What are the Deluxe pint amounts?

For a Deluxe pint, fill with 3 cups of pineapple chunks and cover with 1 cup of liquid from the can to the max fill line. If a smaller yield is fine, use a smaller can and fill below the max fill line.

How do I adjust the sweetness?

Use the liquid from a can packed in pineapple juice for the lightest result, or choose fruit packed in light syrup or heavy syrup for a sweeter sorbet.

What if the sorbet looks crumbly?

If your freezer is set very cold, the sorbet may look crumbly after the first spin. Select respin to process the mixture a little more.

Do I need to add sugar?

No. The fruit and its canning liquid carry all the sweetness and all the solids this sorbet needs to freeze smoothly.
