Real Food Pineapple Whip Recipe (Like Dole Whip)

  • Real Food Pineapple Whip Recipe (Like Dole Whip)

The first time I made this pineapple whip, I had no idea how much it resembled a certain famous dessert. I was just trying to make pineapple sorbet! I’m not sure how I got lucky the first time I tried making it, but I do know:

  • I love pineapple
  • My kids love pineapple
  • I was trying to make frozen pineapple taste as delicious as fresh pineapple and this recipe was born!

Now the recipe lives on as one of our favorite real food summer desserts.

What Is Pineapple Whip?

One day I made this pineapple whip after a friend and I took our kids to the pool. She declared that it tastes very similar to the pineapple magic served at theme parks. At the time I’d never been, so this prompted a search of what on earth Dole Whip was and a realization that I had accidentally made this treat with real food and allergy-safe ingredients.

So now, this pineapple whip (or pineapple clouds as my three-year-old calls it), is a favorite summer treat at our house! It’s a cool and refreshing treat perfect after a hot summer day at the beach or playing in the backyard.

The best part:

No baking, no ovens, and no junky ingredients. In fact, it is one of my easiest recipes of all time. It’s creamy thanks to healthy and nourishing fats from coconut milk, and sweet from the golden goodness of fresh pineapple.

Is It Like Dole Whip?

If you’ve tried the real thing, I’d love to hear your opinion on this! If you haven’t — just enjoy this in all its amazing pineapple-ness without need for petty comparisons!

No pineapple on hand and need some more healthy dessert inspiration? Find all my favorite summer desserts here. My next summer dessert experiment will be this frozen yogurt bark. I haven’t tried it, but it checks all my boxes for a simple, healthy treat.

How to Make Pineapple Whip

All you need is a high-speed blender (one of my favorite pieces of kitchen equipment), some frozen pineapple, and coconut milk. It’s even better with a squeeze for fresh lime to balance the tart and sweet flavors.

Calories 109 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen pineapple
  • ½ cup coconut milk (homemade or canned, or other milk)
  • 1 tsp lime juice (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to high-speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth. It is very important that the pineapple is frozen or this will not work.
  • As soon as it is smooth, remove and scoop into individual serving cups.
  • Serve and eat immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

This is not a recipe to make ahead of time and it should be served immediately to get the soft-serve ice cream texture. The pineapple naturally makes a creamy texture and is amazing as long as it is served right away. It can be stored in the freezer for a few minutes but will freeze solid if left too long.

    This is great! I’ve been making variations on this for years with my ever so old champion juicer!! I’ve used frozen coconut milk or frozen vanilla yogurt and loved it! Thanks for sharing!

    Dole whip comes from Hawaii. It was fiervrst served at the Dole Plantation Park and is a huge hit, not surprised it’s being sold at other major attractions. Since I don’t make it home to Hawaii often, I will definitely give this a try.

    Can you buy frozen pineapple or do you freeze your own? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in the store. But then I haven’t been looking for it either.

    One of our local amusement parks here in Pennsylvania, (Dutch Wonderland) serves the infamous Dole Whip & I must admit, it is craveable! I WILL be trying out your recipe soon, would love to have “Dole Whips” without refined sugar. Thanks for the simple recipe, yay!

    I’m guessing you could probably do this with any frozen fruit

    My favorite is frozen blueberries smothered with heavy cream when the ice cream craving hits. Yum!

      I’ve just gotta try this pinapple whip! I bet it’s amazing!!! — as for frozen blueberries…..: Personally, I love frozen blueberries as is…. not the ones from the freezer section, but blueberries purchased in season when they are lower in cost. Rinse them. Freeze them on a tray, bag them, and eat them as is…….. so fabulous! — but then, I don’t love blueberries just any old way. I love frozen blueberries & blueberry muffins – but that’s about it…. (as a child, they were my favorite food at our favorite restaurant…., but times have changed, and so has my diet……). I am planning on trying blueberry salsa though……… as per Rachael Bryant’s new cookbook…… but I bet I try this pineapple whip first!!! Come to think of it, we even have a pineapple in the fridge right now that just needs to be chopped up and eaten! I think it can take a run through the freezer first!!! I can hardly wait!

        A tip I read from Driscoll’s berries newsletter is to wash your blueberries after freezing to keep the skins from getting nasty like they normally do after freezing. I tried it this year but haven’t used them yet. I probably won’t wash them though. I get them from the Farmer’s Market, so I know my source and think a bit of garden dirt is healthy for you. 😉
        My kids would probably love this. I am allergic to pineapple. It makes the roof of my mouth peel and bleed. That’s awful because I love pineapple.
