Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of frozen pineapple chunks, 1/2 cup of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar (if desired), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a blender or food processor, add the frozen pineapple chunks. Ensure that the pineapple is properly frozen to achieve the right texture for your Dole Whip.
- Pour in the 1/2 cup of coconut milk. This will provide creaminess and a tropical flavor to your Dole Whip.
- If you prefer a sweeter Dole Whip, add the 1 tablespoon of sugar at this stage. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste.
- Add the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. This will enhance the flavor and add a lovely aroma to your Dole Whip.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined.
- Once the mixture reaches a thick and creamy consistency, taste it and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar.
- To serve, you can spoon the Dole Whip into bowls or cups. For an extra touch, you can use a piping bag to create a swirl effect, mimicking the classic Dole Whip presentation.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh pineapple chunks or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for added texture and flavor.
- Enjoy your homemade Dole Whip immediately for the best texture, as it is best served fresh!
Tips
- Freeze your pineapple chunks thoroughly: The key to a creamy, soft-serve-like texture is using completely frozen pineapple.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for maximum creaminess: This ensures a rich, smooth consistency that mimics the original Dole Whip.
- Don't over-blend: Stop blending as soon as the mixture becomes smooth to prevent it from becoming too liquid.
- Serve immediately: Dole Whip is best enjoyed right after preparation to maintain its perfect soft-serve texture.
- For a dairy-free and vegan version, skip the optional sugar or use a plant-based sweetener.
- Get creative with garnishes: Try toasted coconut flakes, a mint leaf, or a fresh pineapple wedge for extra flair.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk. If it's too thin, return it to the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving.
