Method
Blend the pineapple base
- Blend pineapple juice or crushed pineapple with coconut cream, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth.
- Taste the mixture and blend again briefly if any pineapple bits remain so the base will spin evenly.
Freeze
- Pour the blended mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, level the top, and freeze for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, remove the pint and let it sit at room temperature for 1 minute only if the top looks very icy.
Spin and adjust texture
- Process on the Sorbet or Lite Ice Cream setting until it forms a soft-serve texture.
- If the texture is too firm, add 1 tablespoon pineapple juice, re-spin, and repeat once more if needed.
Serve with the classic swirl
- Transfer the pineapple soft serve to a piping bag and pipe into cups for the classic Dole Whip swirl.
- If preferred, serve directly from the pint immediately after spinning while it stays creamy.
Notes
For the creamiest results, make sure the base blend is fully smooth before freezing, and keep the pint level so it spins uniformly. Store any leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 days; re-spin is best for texture, not full thawing. Freezer yes for the base portion, but for best texture, eat after spinning. Dietary swap: keep it dairy-free as written; if you want extra tang, use unsweetened pineapple juice and keep the sugar low or swap to agave lightly.
