Method
Blend into soft-serve
- Add frozen strawberries, frozen pineapple juice concentrate, and water to a food processor, then blend until smooth and soft-serve consistency is achieved, scraping down once if needed.
- Taste and add powdered sugar if extra sweetness is desired, then pulse briefly until evenly incorporated and still thick like soft-serve.
Serve
- Divide the blended strawberry mixture into serving cups or cones and top with a maraschino cherry if desired for a classic finish.
- Serve immediately for the best whipped texture and visible strawberry swirl effect.
Notes
For the creamiest texture, use strawberries straight from the freezer and blend just until smooth—over-blending can warm the mixture and make it looser. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the freezer up to 1 day; refreeze may become firmer, so let sit 1–2 minutes before serving again. Freezer yes. For a simpler dairy-free option, this recipe already contains no dairy; keep it dairy-free by ensuring any add-ins (like cherries) don’t include dairy ingredients.
