INGREDIENT NOTES:

Frozen Pineapple:

• The main ingredient in this dessert is frozen pineapple! Either cut fresh pineapple into bits and freeze it overnight/use frozen pineapple from the grocery. It adds the texture of creamy sorbet to the whip.

Coconut milk:

• Offers a tropical taste & smoothness. For a lighter option, you can use oat, almond, or soy milk.

Maple Syrup:

• If your pineapple isn’t very sweet, maple syrup(honey) is a fantastic addition (optional). Date syrup/agave syrup is also effective.

Lemon juice:

• This enhances the flavor & adds even more pop to the pineapple.

Vanilla Essence:

• Gives the whip some hotness and a hint of richness.

Salt:

• A dash of salt unites all the flavors!

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In your food processor/blender, mix all the ingredients that you need to make it.
2. After increasing the heat to high, whisk until the mixture thickens & gets creamy.
3. If necessary, pause and use a spatula to scrape down the sides.

5. Taste your whip to adjust for taste.

9. Move the mixture to a container & freeze it for one to two hours if you prefer a firmer texture.

TIPS:

• To get the best natural sweetness, extra-ripe pineapple ought to be used.
• To make it sweeter and creamier, you can add a frozen banana.
• The mixture is frozen after being poured into molds. You may turn this into popsicles.
• In case you want an extra protein boost. You must use a scoop to mix vegan protein powder.
• Do you want to enjoy yourself more? Top with oats, shredded coconut, and crushed (freeze-dried) pineapple.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

• Do not suggest storing in the fridge. It will melt fast and lose the soft-serve consistency.

FREEZER:

• Remaining food can be stored for up to two weeks in a sealed, airtight box. Let it dehydrate for five to ten minutes before reserving & then reblend or scoop for a creamier texture.

FAQs:

Is this equivalent to Dole Whip from Disney?

• A vegan variant that draws inspiration from the original! This one is healthier and lighter because it includes genuine fruit and plant milk rather than a processed mixture.

Is it feasible to switch out canned pineapple with frozen pineapple?

• A canned pineapple will operate similarly. To achieve that smooth, ice cream-like smoothness, frozen chunks are required.

Can I prepare something in advance?

• Yes, but fresh is the best way to taste it. To restore the soft texture, you can freeze it and reblend it before serving.
