Pineapple Soft Serve (like the iconic Dole Whip!). Super refreshing, naturally sweet, and so easy to make at home — no fancy equipment needed.
Here’s the full homemade Pineapple Soft Serve recipe — creamy, dairy-free, and ready in minutes!
🍍 Pineapple Soft Serve (aka Homemade Dole Whip)
✅ Ingredients:
-
2 cups frozen pineapple chunks (make sure they’re fully frozen)
-
1/4 cup coconut milk (or any milk: almond, oat, dairy – your call)
-
1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
-
1 tsp lemon juice (brightens up the flavor!)
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional but adds a nice twist)
🍨 Instructions:
1. Freeze the Pineapple
-
Use fresh pineapple or canned chunks packed in juice — just drain them and freeze until solid (4–5 hours or overnight).
2. Blend It Up
-
In a high-powered blender or food processor, add:
-
Frozen pineapple
-
Coconut milk
-
Lemon juice
-
Vanilla extract
-
Sweetener (if using)
-
-
Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed — it’ll take a bit of patience, but it’s worth it.
Pro tip: If your blender struggles, add a splash more coconut milk, but don’t overdo it — you want that thick, soft-serve texture.
3. Serve Right Away
-
Scoop into bowls, cones, or swirl it into a soft-serve shape using a piping bag or plastic bag with the tip cut off.
-
Enjoy immediately for a creamy soft serve — or freeze for 30–60 minutes if you want it a little firmer like scoopable ice cream.
🍍 Variations:
-
Add a few frozen banana slices for extra creaminess.
-
Blend in a handful of mango for a tropical twist.
-
Top with toasted coconut flakes, granola, or crushed nuts.
