5-Minute Pineapple Nice Cream
(Only 3 Ingredients – Zero Points Ice Cream!)
This tropical treat is light, dairy-free, and naturally sweet—perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth without adding sugar or points (if you’re following WW or just watching calories). Made in just minutes with frozen pineapple and no added sugar!
Ingredients
2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
1 medium ripe banana, sliced and frozen
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
Optional add-ins (not zero points):
– A splash of vanilla extract
– A squeeze of lime juice for tang
– A handful of shredded coconut or mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
Add to Blender
Place the frozen pineapple, frozen banana slices, and almond milk into a high-powered blender or food processor.
Blend Until Creamy
Blend on high, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy—like soft-serve ice cream. This takes about 2–3 minutes.
Serve Immediately
Scoop into bowls or cones and serve right away for a soft-serve consistency.
Want it firmer? Transfer to a container and freeze for 1–2 hours before scooping like traditional ice cream.
⏱️ Time Breakdown
- Prep time: 5 minutes
- Total time: 5–7 minutes (or longer if freezing after blending)
Tips
Use a ripe banana for maximum creaminess and natural sweetness.
If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more almond milk (a tablespoon at a time).
Works great with other frozen fruit too (like mango or strawberries).
Want protein? Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder (not zero points).
❓ FAQ
Q: Can I make it ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. Let it sit out for 10–15 minutes before scooping.
Q: Is this really zero points?
A: Yes, if you’re on WW and using 0-point fruits and unsweetened almond milk, it’s zero points! Always check your app for your plan specifics.
Q: Can I use canned pineapple?
A: For best texture and flavor, use fresh pineapple that’s been frozen. Canned pineapple often has added syrup and doesn’t freeze quite the same.
