Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (473 ml) frozen pineapple chunks
- ½ cup (118 ml) vanilla ice cream (or dairy-free alternative for vegan)
Liquid Ingredients:
- ½ cup (118 ml) pineapple juice
Sweetener:
- 12 tablespoons (180 ml) sugar (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare frozen pineapple chunks and gather remaining ingredients to ensure a smooth blending process.
- Place frozen pineapple, vanilla ice cream, pineapple juice, and optional sugar into a high-powered blender, positioning ingredients strategically for optimal mixing.
- Activate the blender at high speed, creating a velvety texture while periodically pausing to scrape down sides and eliminate any unblended chunks.
- Adjust liquid consistency by incorporating additional pineapple juice if the mixture appears too thick or resistant to blending.
- Select your serving presentation method: use a piping bag with a decorative star tip for authentic Disney-style swirls or opt for classic scooping into chilled serving vessels.
- If using a piping technique, transfer the creamy mixture into the bag, ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted flow for elegant presentation.
- Immediate serving is crucial to maintain the signature soft-serve consistency, preventing crystallization and preserving the dessert’s luxurious texture.
- Optional garnishing with fresh pineapple wedges or mint leaves can enhance visual appeal and provide a complementary flavor profile.
Notes
- Freeze fresh pineapple chunks thoroughly before blending to achieve an ultra-creamy, authentic soft-serve texture without ice crystals.
- Experiment with dairy-free alternatives like coconut or almond vanilla ice cream to create a vegan-friendly version that maintains the signature tropical flavor.
- Use a powerful blender with sharp blades to ensure a silky-smooth consistency, avoiding chunky or grainy results that can ruin the classic Dole Whip experience.
- Optional flavor boosters like a splash of coconut milk or a pinch of vanilla extract can elevate the tropical profile and add depth to the classic recipe.
