Description
This homemade pineapple dole whip elevates the classic soft-serve with a creamy coconut ginger swirl, offering a healthy, naturally dairy-free treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk, chilled overnight
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, divided
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Coconut Ginger Swirl: Ensure full-fat canned coconut milk has been refrigerated overnight; do not shake the can before opening. Skim 0.25 cup (60 ml) of the thick cream from the top. In a small bowl, combine this coconut cream with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and all of the finely grated fresh ginger, mixing until smooth.
- Blend Pineapple Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen pineapple chunks, the remaining coconut milk (including liquid from the can), and the remaining 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Start blending on low to medium speed, using a tamper or scraping down the sides, until the mixture transforms into a smooth, thick, soft-serve texture. Add 1-2 extra frozen pineapple chunks if runny, or a splash of cold water if too thick.
- Layer and Swirl in Dishes: Divide about half of the pineapple base mixture between two serving bowls or chilled glasses. Drizzle approximately half of the prepared coconut ginger swirl mixture over the pineapple base. Use a small spoon or skewer to gently swirl to create ribbons without fully mixing.
- Finish and Garnish: Add the remaining pineapple base mixture on top, followed by the rest of the coconut ginger swirl. Gently swirl again, then serve immediately in the chilled glasses. Finish each serving with a light dusting of ground cardamom before enjoying.
Notes
To achieve a thick soft-serve consistency, use frozen pineapple chunks, not fresh pineapple. Ensure full-fat coconut milk is chilled overnight to separate the cream. Avoid over-blending, as this generates heat and melts the pineapple.
