Ingredients
  

Pineapple base
  • 1 cup pineapple juice or crushed pineapple (drained) Use fully drained crushed pineapple for best texture.
  • 0.5 cup coconut cream or coconut milk Choose full-fat for the creamiest dairy-free result.
  • 2 tbsp sugar or agave Agave makes it slightly sweeter and softer.
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice Adds brightness and balances the pineapple.
  • 0.25 tsp vanilla extract Optional but helps round out the tropical flavor.
  • 0.06 salt Just a pinch to enhance fruit flavor.

Equipment

  • 1 Ninja Creami

Method
 

Blend the frozen base
  1. Blend pineapple juice or crushed pineapple (drained) with coconut cream or coconut milk, sugar or agave, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth. Blend in short pulses and scrape down as needed until no pineapple flecks remain.
  2. Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container and level the surface. Freeze for 24 hours to firm up completely.
Spin into soft serve
  1. Process on the Sorbet or Lite Ice Cream setting. Stop when the surface looks like bright pineapple soft serve with a smooth swirlable texture.
  2. If the texture is too firm, add 1 tablespoon pineapple juice and re-spin. Use the same setting and stop when it turns creamy instead of icy.
Serve
  1. Transfer to a piping bag and pipe into cups for the classic Dole Whip swirl. Pipe high to create a tall, defined swirl.

Notes

Pro tip: for the smoothest pineapple soft serve, blend until the base is completely uniform before freezing, and keep the pint level so it spins evenly. Store any leftovers covered in the freezer up to 3 days; re-spin briefly with a splash of pineapple juice if it hardens. Freezer yes/no: yes, the mixture freezes well—freeze the full pint before spinning. Dietary swap: if you want a lower-sugar version, replace sugar or agave with an equal amount of a 1:1 sweetener suitable for freezing.
