Ingredients
Scale
Frozen Fruit
- 4 cups frozen pineapple chunks
Liquids
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
Sweeteners & Flavorings
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare tools: Prepare a piping bag and have serving dishes ready to make transferring and serving the dole whip smooth and neat.
- Blend ingredients: Place the frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, pineapple juice, powdered sugar, coconut extract, and a pinch of salt into a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth with no lumps remaining, forming a creamy soft-serve texture.
- Pipe and serve: Immediately after blending, spoon the dole whip into the piping bag and pipe it into the serving dishes in a circular motion for a classic soft-serve appearance. Optionally, place the piped dole whips into the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up and hold their shape before serving.
Notes
- Use unsweetened coconut milk for a balanced tropical flavor without extra sweetness.
- For a thicker texture, freeze the resulting dole whip longer before serving.
- Adjust powdered sugar to taste depending on pineapple sweetness.
- Serving the dole whip immediately gives it a soft-serve style consistency; freezing after piping gives a more solid dessert.
- Substitute pineapple juice with orange juice for a citrus twist.
- Ensure the pineapple chunks are fully frozen for the best creamy texture.
