Ingredients
Scale
- 1 very ripe banana, sliced and frozen (see Notes)
- 16 oz (455 g) frozen pineapple chunks (see Notes)
- 3 Tbsp pure dark maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp full-fat coconut milk
- 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
Instructions
- In a food processor, blend all ingredients until fully smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes, stopping and scraping as necessary and adding a small drizzle of maple syrup or coconut milk to taste. (It takes quite a while to blend since there’s a lot of fruit versus liquid, so be patient!) Serve immediately. (You can use a piping bag to swirl it into a cup if desired, but it’s easiest to spoon it into a cup.) You can also freeze for 2 to 3 hours before serving, then check the texture and allow to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
- Dole whip is best eaten the day it is made. If you store it overnight it becomes very hard (due to the lack of stabilizers compared to store-bought ice cream), so allow it to sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
It’s important to use a very ripe banana (here’s how to freeze bananas) and also quality frozen pineapple. Make sure the pineapple is bright yellow and a good brand (ideally Dole, of course!). I like using a very ripe banana that I freeze myself, because I find often store-bought frozen bananas aren’t as sweet.
