Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice (100% pure)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or sweetener of choice
- 1–2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1/4 cup coconut milk or cream for extra creaminess
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Ensure pineapple chunks are completely frozen. Chill serving bowls in freezer for 15 minutes.
- Blend base: Add frozen pineapple chunks to blender or food processor. Pour in pineapple juice, lime juice, sugar, and salt.
- Process mixture: Pulse several times to break down pineapple, then blend continuously until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes). Stop and scrape sides as needed.
- Adjust consistency: If too thick, add more pineapple juice. If too thin, add more frozen pineapple. The ideal texture should resemble soft-serve ice cream.
- Serve immediately: For authentic presentation, transfer to piping bag with star tip and create a swirl in chilled bowls or waffle cones.
Notes
Pro Tips:
- For best results, freeze ripe pineapple in a single layer before storing.
- Coconut cream creates a creamier dairy-free version than coconut milk.
- For a creamier version, substitute 1 cup of pineapple with vanilla ice cream.
- Create a Dole Whip Float by pouring additional pineapple juice over the soft serve.
- Store leftovers in freezer up to 2 weeks; let thaw 10-15 minutes before serving.
