Description
Pineapple Whip is a creamy and refreshing tropical frozen dessert made with sweet frozen pineapple, coconut milk, and a hint of lime.

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- ½ cup coconut milk or whole milk
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and fresh lime juice to a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure everything blends evenly.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add a little more milk (coconut or whole) and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve or Freeze: Serve immediately for a soft-serve style texture, or place the blended mixture in the freezer for about 1 hour if you prefer a firmer, scoopable dessert.
- Garnish (Optional): Before serving, garnish with fresh pineapple chunks or a sprig of mint to enhance presentation and flavor.
Notes
- Use frozen pineapple chunks for the best creamy texture without needing additional ice.
- Coconut milk adds a richer tropical flavor and creaminess but whole milk works well too.
- Adjust sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup according to your taste preference or omit for a naturally sweet option.
- The lime juice brightens the flavor and adds a subtle tang that complements the pineapple.
- For a firmer consistency, freeze the whip for longer than 1 hour, just be sure to let it sit at room temperature briefly before serving for easy scooping.
