Transport your taste buds straight to a tropical paradise with this irresistibly creamy and refreshing Dole Whip recipe! Perfect for pineapple lovers, this iconic dessert combines frozen pineapple chunks, velvety vanilla ice cream (dairy-free if preferred), tangy pineapple and lemon juices, and an optional touch of sweetness for a perfectly balanced treat. With just 10 minutes of prep time, you can whip up this no-cook, soft-serve-style delight right at home. Serve it with a classic swirl for that theme park nostalgia or simply spoon it into bowls for a quick, fuss-free indulgence. Whether as a summertime snack or a fruity dessert, this Dole Whip is sure to sweeten up any occasion.
In a high-powered blender or food processor, add the frozen pineapple chunks, vanilla ice cream, pineapple juice, and lemon juice.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides or add a bit more pineapple juice if the mixture is too thick to blend.
Taste the mixture and, if desired, add 1 tablespoon of sugar or more, depending on your sweetness preference. Blend again briefly to incorporate the sugar.
To achieve the classic soft-serve swirl, transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe into serving cups or bowls in a circular motion. Alternatively, you can spoon the mixture directly into cups for a quicker serving option.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Dole Whip with a spoon or small straw!
