Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: fresh pineapple slices and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your frozen pineapple chunks are ready to go. I like to use ripe, sweet pineapples for the best flavor.
- Blend the Pineapple: In a high-speed blender, add the 2 cups of frozen pineapple chunks.
- Add Coconut Milk: Pour in 1 cup of coconut milk. Full-fat coconut milk is recommended for a rich, creamy consistency.
- Sweeten It Up: Add 1/4 cup of sugar, adjusting based on your sweetness preference.
- Add Lime Juice and Vanilla: Squeeze in 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds to a minute.
- Taste and Adjust: Once blended, taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or pineapple flavor as needed.
- Chill the Mixture: Transfer the blended mixture into a bowl or an airtight container. Cover and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
- Scoop and Serve: After chilling, scoop the Dole Whip into bowls or cups. If too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
- Garnish: Garnish with fresh pineapple slices and a sprig of mint if desired.
- Enjoy: Dig in and enjoy the creamy, tropical flavors!
- Store Any Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Let sit out for a few minutes before scooping again.
