Ingredients
- Frozen pineapple chunks – 4 cups about 1 large pineapple or 600 g
- Coconut milk full-fat canned – 1 cup (240 ml), chilled
- Pineapple juice – ½ cup 120 ml, fresh or canned
- Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed
- Sugar or honey – 2–3 tablespoons adjust to taste
- Vanilla extract – ½ teaspoon
- Pinch of salt – to balance sweetness
- Optional: ¼ cup coconut cream for extra richness
Instructions
Prepare the Pineapple
- Chop fresh pineapple into chunks if using whole fruit. Freeze until solid, about 4 hours or overnight. Use store-bought frozen for speed.
Chill Coconut Milk
- Place canned coconut milk in fridge overnight. The cream thickens on top. Scoop out the solid part. Save liquid for smoothies.
Add Ingredients to Blender
- Put frozen pineapple, coconut cream, pineapple juice, lemon juice, sugar, vanilla, and salt into blender. Start with less sugar.
Blend Until Smooth
- Pulse blender on high. Scrape sides often. Add a splash of pineapple juice if too thick. Blend 2–3 minutes until creamy like soft serve.
Taste and Adjust Sweetness
- Taste the mixture. Add more sugar or honey if needed. Blend again briefly. It should taste tangy-sweet and refreshing.
Transfer to Container
- Spoon the soft Dole Whip into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top. Cover tightly with lid or plastic wrap.
Freeze for Perfect Texture
- Freeze for 2–4 hours. Stir every hour for first two hours. This prevents ice crystals and keeps it scoopable.
Scoop and Serve
- Let sit 5 minutes at room temp. Scoop into bowls or glasses. Pipe for fancy swirls if you like. Enjoy right away
Notes
- Use ripe pineapple for best flavor. Sweeter fruit needs less sugar.
- Freeze pineapple in single layer on tray first. Prevents clumps.
- High-speed blender works best. Regular may need more liquid.
- For thicker texture, add frozen banana. One small works great.
- Make it vegan by skipping honey. Use maple syrup instead.
- Add rum extract for adult piña colada twist. Just ¼ teaspoon.
- Mix in strawberries for pink swirl version. Blend half separately.
- Dairy version: swap coconut for Greek yogurt or heavy cream.
- Float in pineapple juice for classic Dole Whip float.
- Double batch freezes well. Portion into popsicle molds too.
