Ingredients
2 cups simple syrup
1 cup celery, minced
1/2 cup fresh pineapple cubes
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup plain yogurt
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the simple syrup with the minced celery, stirring well to distribute the celery pieces evenly throughout the syrup.
Add the fresh pineapple cubes to the mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged in the syrup.
Pour in the pineapple juice and stir to combine all liquid ingredients with the fruit and celery.
Whisk in the plain yogurt until the mixture is smooth and uniform, with no lumps remaining.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker or freezer-safe container. If using an ice cream maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn and freeze until the sorbet reaches the desired creamy consistency, approximately 20–30 minutes. If freezing in a container, place it in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes for 3–4 hours until scoopable.
Once frozen to your preferred firmness, divide the sorbet into 5 serving portions and serve immediately, or store in a covered freezer container for up to one week.
Comments
The 15-minute time ignores the fact that sorbet requires hours of freezing after blending—budget at least three hours total, or overnight for best texture. Celery and pineapple are reliable finds at every Charlotte chain, and the cost per serving is low since pineapple juice and yogurt are staples, making this genuinely affordable for a light dessert. The real caveat is that this is a make-ahead dish with narrow serving windows; it firms up quickly in the freezer and doesn't hold texture well if left out, so it suits planning ahead rather than last-minute weeknight dessert. This works best as a hot-weather treat you've prepped the night before.
