Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ½ cup rum
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure the frozen pineapple chunks are thoroughly frozen and have no ice crystals.
- Place frozen pineapple chunks into a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Add coconut milk, rum, sugar, and vanilla extract to the blender.
- Blend ingredients on high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy with a soft-serve consistency.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a small amount of additional coconut milk to help blend. If too thin, add more frozen pineapple.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
- For a firmer texture, transfer the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 15-20 minutes.
- When ready to serve, use an piping bag with a star tip to create swirled peaks, or simply scoop into chilled glasses.
- Optionally, garnish with a pineapple wedge, maraschino cherry, or sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical, boozy treat.
Tips
- Freeze Factor: Use completely frozen pineapple chunks for the best texture. The colder and more frozen they are, the creamier your Dole Whip will be.
- Blending Brilliance: Use a high-powered blender or food processor to achieve that signature smooth, soft-serve consistency.
- Rum Selection: Choose a light or coconut rum to complement the tropical flavors. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum.
- Consistency is Key: If your mixture is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk. If it's too thin, add more frozen pineapple.
- Serving Suggestion: For an Instagram-worthy presentation, use a piping bag with a star tip to create beautiful swirled peaks.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the mixture and freeze it for a firmer texture, perfect for those who prefer a more ice cream-like consistency.
- Garnish Game: Elevate your Dole Whip with toppings like toasted coconut flakes, a pineapple wedge, or a maraschino cherry for extra flair.
