How to Make Dole Whip Ninja Creami Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups canned pineapple chunks
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice (use from canned pineapple)
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (or milk of choice, regular milk also works!)
- 1 tbsp honey
Directions:
Step 1: Preparation
In a blender or food processor, combine the pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, and your choice of milk. Blend on high until everything is fully blended and creamy. If you prefer, you can skip the blender and put all the ingredients directly into the Ninja Creami pint container, using an immersion blender for convenience!
Step 2: Freezing
Once blended, pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Secure the lid tightly and freeze for 24 hours. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect soft-serve texture.
Step 3: Blending
After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer. Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami. Attach the outer bowl lid and fit everything into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the "sorbet" setting (you can also use the "lite ice cream" button if you prefer).
Step 4: Final Spin
After the first spin, your Dole Whip may still look a bit crumbly. No worries! Re-spin the mixture two more times. If after the first re-spin it still appears too crumbly, add a tiny splash of milk (about a teaspoon) before the final spin to achieve that smooth and creamy consistency.
How to Serve Dole Whip Ninja Creami Recipe
Serve your Dole Whip immediately for the best texture! You can enjoy it on its own or get creative with toppings. Fresh fruit, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of extra honey can enhance your Dole Whip experience. It’s perfect for summer BBQs, birthday parties, or simply enjoying as an afternoon treat.
How to Store Dole Whip Ninja Creami Recipe
If you have leftovers (which is unlikely, but it’s always possible!), transfer the Dole Whip back to the Ninja Creami pint and cover it tightly. Store in the freezer for up to one week. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply take it out of the freezer, let it sit for a few minutes to soften, and then re-spin in your Ninja Creami for that fresh, creamy texture.
Expert Tips for Perfect Dole Whip Ninja Creami Recipe
- For a vegan option, use coconut milk or any plant-based milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or a sugar alternative based on your taste preference.
- Experiment with other fruits like mango or banana for a fun twist on the classic Dole Whip flavor.
- Make sure to freeze the mixture for a full 24 hours for the best results.
- If you’re short on time, use frozen pineapple chunks instead of canned.
Delicious Variations
- Mango Whip: Substitute pineapple chunks with mango chunks for a tropical twist.
- Berry Dole Whip: Add a handful of mixed berries to the blender for a fruity and colorful version.
- Coconut Lime Whip: Incorporate lime juice and zest for a zesty flavor that pairs beautifully with coconut.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes! If you use fresh pineapple, you may need to add a bit more pineapple juice to achieve the right consistency. -
Is it necessary to use a Ninja Creami?
While the Ninja Creami gives the best texture, you can also make this recipe using a traditional ice cream maker or by hand with a bowl and whisk, though it will require more time and effort. -
How can I make this recipe sugar-free?
You can substitute honey with your favorite sugar substitute or omit it entirely if the sweetness of the pineapple is enough for your taste. -
What if my Dole Whip remains too icy?
If your Dole Whip doesn’t achieve the desired creamy texture, add a small splash of milk and re-spin in the Ninja Creami. -
Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely! Just be sure your Ninja Creami pint container has enough capacity, or divide the mixture into two containers for freezing.
