Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh pineapple, peeled and diced into small pieces

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup coconut water or pineapple juice

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

Zest of 1 lime

A pinch of sea salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple: Begin by peeling the fresh pineapple and cutting it into small, even cubes for easy blending. In a blender or food processor, process the pineapple until mostly smooth. For added texture, you may choose to leave some small chunks in the puree.

    Mix Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pineapple puree with the granulated sugar, coconut water (or pineapple juice), freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix vigorously with a whisk or spatula until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is uniform.

      Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator and let it chill for 1-2 hours, ensuring it is thoroughly cold before churning.

        Churn the Sorbet: Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, churning it until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, which typically takes about 20-25 minutes.

          Freeze until Firm: After churning, transfer the sorbet into a suitable storage container. Use a spatula to smooth out the top, ensuring an even surface. Seal the container with a lid and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the sorbet is firm and scoopable.

            Serve: When you're ready to enjoy your sorbet, take it out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Use an ice cream scoop to serve the sorbet into bowls or cones, and if desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a lovely touch.

              Enjoy: Indulge in your refreshing Tropical Paradise Pineapple Sorbet on a hot day, or serve it as a light, tropical dessert to impress your guests.
