Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Remove the frozen pineapple chunks from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften.
- Add the frozen pineapple chunks to a high-powered food processor or high-speed blender.
- Pour in the coconut milk, ensuring it's well-chilled for the best texture and consistency.
- If using, add the maple syrup for additional sweetness and the vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
- Blend the ingredients on high speed, stopping periodically to scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor with a spatula.
- Continue blending until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, with a soft-serve like consistency. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a small amount of additional coconut milk, one tablespoon at a time.
- Once the desired creamy texture is achieved, immediately serve the Dole Whip in chilled serving bowls or glasses.
- For best results, consume immediately while the dessert is still cold and has a soft-serve texture.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh pineapple chunks, mint leaves, or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes before serving.
Tips
- Use completely frozen pineapple chunks for the best texture and consistency.
- Ensure your coconut milk is well-chilled before blending to maintain the soft-serve structure.
- Let the frozen fruit sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to prevent over-blending and maintain that signature creamy texture.
- Scrape down the sides of your blender frequently to ensure even blending.
- If the mixture becomes too thick, add coconut milk one tablespoon at a time.
- Serve immediately for the most authentic soft-serve experience.
- For extra indulgence, experiment with garnishes like toasted coconut flakes or fresh mint.
- Use a high-powered blender or food processor for the smoothest results.
- Consider pre-chilling your serving dishes to keep the Dole Whip colder longer.
- For variations, try mixing in other frozen fruits like mango or strawberry.
