Introduction

Ingredients

2 cups fresh or canned pineapple chunks (20 oz), drained (tidbits, crushed, or sliced also work)
½ cup coconut milk (full-fat or water blend)
2 tablespoons agave syrup (optional) (can substitute honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, stevia, monk fruit, or regular sugar)

Instructions

Step 1: In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks, coconut milk, and sweetener if using. Blend until smooth and well mixed.
Step 2: Pour the blended mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, making sure not to exceed the max fill line. Place the container in the freezer and freeze solid for at least 24 hours.
Step 3: Remove the frozen pint container from the freezer and install it into the Ninja Creami machine. Attach the pint holder lid and lock it securely.
Step 4: Select the ‘Sorbet’ setting on the Ninja Creami and allow it to process the mixture into a creamy dole whip texture.
Step 5: Scoop the prepared Dole Whip into bowls and add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, shredded coconut, or nuts for extra flavor and texture.

Tips & Variations

Use frozen pineapple chunks directly if you prefer a thicker texture and skip the initial freeze step.
Swap coconut milk with almond or oat milk for a different flavor profile.
Add a splash of lime juice for a tangy twist.
Adjust sweetness by varying the amount or type of sweetener to match your taste.

Storage

Store leftover Dole Whip in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To serve again, let it soften slightly at room temperature for 5–10 minutes and then reprocess in the Ninja Creami on the ‘Mix-In’ or ‘Refresh’ setting to regain creaminess.

How to Serve

The front bowl contains three creamy yellow ice cream scoops sprinkled with white shredded coconut, giving a textured look on top. The back bowl has two yellow ice cream scoops, smooth and slightly melting. Behind the bowls, there is a glass container with a creamy yellow substance and a green leafy plant in a brown pot to the left, all against a white tiled wall. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
