Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces pineapple juice
- 1 big scoop vanilla ice cream (about 3/4 cup)
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional but recommended)
- Splash of lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients:
Combine all the ingredients in a high-powered blender in the order listed. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. If needed, stop and push down the pineapple chunks to help them blend evenly. - Freeze (Optional):
For a firmer texture, pour the mixture into a container and freeze for 30-40 minutes. - Pipe and Serve:
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a 1M “star” tip. Swirl into glasses or dessert cups. - Freeze Again (Optional):
To help the soft-serve hold its shape, freeze the swirled Dole Whip for another 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a dairy-free or vegan version, swap the vanilla ice cream with 1/3 cup of coconut milk.
- Use frozen pineapple chunks for the best texture. If using fresh pineapple, freeze it for at least 2 hours before blending.
- Add a splash of lemon juice to enhance the pineapple flavor and balance the sweetness.
- To achieve the iconic Dole Whip swirl, use a piping bag with a 1M “star” tip.
- For a fun twist, turn it into a Dole Whip Float by adding pineapple juice and a maraschino cherry on top!
