Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 heaping scoop vanilla ice cream
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 4 ounces pineapple juice
Instructions
- Soften Ice Cream: Portion out the vanilla ice cream into a bowl and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften, making it easier to blend.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the softened vanilla ice cream, frozen pineapple chunks, and pineapple juice to a blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, resembling soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a shallow dish or bowl and place it in the freezer for 40 minutes to semi-freeze and firm up.
- Prepare to Serve: Transfer the semi-frozen pineapple mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip for an attractive presentation.
- Pipe and Serve: Pipe the Dole Whip into two ramekins or serving dishes and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Allowing the ice cream to soften is crucial for smooth blending and a creamy texture.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can spoon the mixture into bowls instead.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute vanilla ice cream with coconut or vegan vanilla ice cream.
- Serve immediately after piping to enjoy the best soft-serve texture.
- Adjust pineapple juice quantity slightly to achieve your preferred consistency.
